Liquid Chromatography with Amperometric Detection at a Silver Based Detector for the Determination of Thiocompounds: Application to the Assay of Thiopurine Antimetabolites in Urine.

Anal. Chem. 87 , 6730-5, (2015)

A silver amperometric detector coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) was used for the determination of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) and two of its metabolites, thiouric acid (TU) and 2-amino-6-mercaptopurine riboside (6-TGR). The silver detector coupled to LC operate...

The syntheses and properties of tricyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of S6-methylthioguanine and O6-methylguanine.

Org. Biomol. Chem. 4(9) , 1723-9, (2006)

The syntheses of novel tricyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of S6-methylthioguanine are described. The crystal structures and pKa values of these and related O6-methylguanine analogues are reported. All compounds display higher pKa values than O6-meth...

Reference intervals for thiopurine S-methyltransferase activity in red blood cells using 6-thioguanine as substrate and rapid non-extraction liquid chromatography.

Ann. Clin. Biochem. 41(Pt 4) , 303-8, (2004)

Although widely used, thiopurine drugs have a narrow therapeutic index and treatment can result in life-threatening toxicity, the basis being pharmacogenetic variation in thiopurine metabolism by thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT). We recently developed a ...

Effects of various 2-amino-6-alkyldithiopurines on brain specific [3H]diazepam binding.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 33 , 1737-1739, (1984)

Various derivatives of 2-amino-6- methylthiopurine with substituents at the 6-position of purine were tested for their abilities to displace [3H]diazepam binding to rat brain membranes. The potency was dependent on the carbon chain-length in the 6-position of...

Role of postreplicative DNA mismatch repair in the cytotoxic action of thioguanine.

Science 273(5278) , 1109-11, (1996)

It is proposed here that the delayed cytotoxicity of thioguanine involves the postreplicative DNA mismatch repair system. After incorporation into DNA, the thioguanine is chemically methylated by S-adenosylmethionine to form S6-methylthioguanine. During DNA r...

Effect of 9-alkyl derivatives of 6-methylthioguanine on brain specific binding of [3H]diazepam.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 35(20) , 3645-6, (1986)

Effect of synthetic purines and purine nucleosides on [3H]diazepam binding in brain.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 81(3) , 505-8, (1982)

We have compared fifteen synthetic purines and purine nucleosides on their ability to displace [3H]diazepam binding to rat brain membranes. Among these analogs, 6-methylthioguanine was found to be most potent, inhibiting competitively the specific binding of ...

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic approach to determine total lymphocyte concentrations of 6-thioguanine, methylmercaptopurine and methylthioguanine in humans.

J. Chromatogr. A. 571(1-2) , 149-56, (1991)

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure was developed to quantify intracellular lymphocyte 6-thioguanine, methylmercaptopurine and methylthioguanine. The free base of each metabolite was obtained by acid hydrolysis, which all...

Mucosal improvement in patients with moderate to severe postoperative endoscopic recurrence of Crohn's disease and azathioprine metabolite levels.

Inflamm. Bowel Dis. 19(3) , 590-8, (2013)

The value of azathioprine metabolites (6-thioguanine nucleotides [6-TGN]) in monitoring clinical treatment response is still controversially discussed. Data regarding thiopurine metabolite levels and endoscopic improvement are lacking.Data were analyzed post ...

6-Thioguanine and S⁶-methylthioguanine are mutagenic in human cells.

ACS Chem. Biol. 5(11) , 1021-7, (2010)

Thiopurines are effective immunosuppressants and anticancer agents. However, the long-term use of thiopurines was found to be associated with a significantly increased risk of various types of cancer. To date, the specific mechanism(s) underlying the carcinog...
