Published in 2018 at "New Journal of Chemistry"

DOI: 10.1039/c8nj04039g

Abstract: In this work, a new kind of polymer system based on poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide) (poly(HPMA)) for transporting the anticancer drug 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) was successfully prepared. The vinyl groups were grafted onto the polymer chains via the reaction… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology"

DOI: 10.1097/mph.0000000000002434

Abstract: 6-mercaptopurine is a mainstay of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment. It has a narrow therapeutic window, dictated by its metabolite, thioguanine and 6-methylmercaptopurine. Skin manifestations usually consist of mild facial rash or hypersensitivity exanthems. We report… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology"

DOI: 10.1097/mph.0000000000002609

Abstract: Mercaptopurine (6MP) and methotrexate are the cornerstones of maintenance therapy in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, although bone marrow suppression and liver dysfunction are common side effects of these antimetabolites, 6MP-induced hypoglycemia during… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology"

DOI: 10.14309/ctg.0000000000000549

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Chronotherapy is the timing of medication according to biological rhythms of the host to optimize drug efficacy and minimize toxicity. Efficacy and myelosuppression of azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine (AZA/6-MP) are correlated with the metabolite 6-thioguanine, while the… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"

DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911885

Abstract: Thiopurine drugs azathioprine (AZA) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) are used extensively in pediatric and adult patients with inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. They are metabolized to 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) or to 6-methyl-mercaptopurine nucleotides (6-MMPN). The balance between… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Nanomaterials"

DOI: 10.3390/nano12224029

Abstract: 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is a well-known immunosuppressive medication with proven anti-proliferative activities. 6-MP possesses incomplete and highly variable oral absorption due to its poor water solubility, which might reduce its anti-cancer properties. To overcome these negative… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Scientia Pharmaceutica"

DOI: 10.3390/scipharm86020018

Abstract: This research aimed to quantitatively bioanalyze 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP), and 6-thioguanosine-5′-monophosphate (6-TGMP) in dried blood spots (DBS) prepared from a small volume of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. Analytes on the DBS card were… read more here.
