β¦ Synopsis
A systematic study on the adsorption and association of 6-thiopurine (6-TP) and 6-thiopurine riboside (6-TPR) has been carried out at various pH values and the adsorption parameters were determined quantitatively. The adsorption was followed by out-of-phase alternating current voitammetry and cyclic voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. A comparative study was undertaken on the adsorption and association of the investigated thiopurines and the similar type of nucleic acid components containing purine bases. The base-containing thio group enhances stacking interaction and facilitates formation of the perpendicularly stacked layer on the electrode surface.

Background: 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is an effective maintenance medication in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but toxic effects like myelosuppression limit its clinical benefit. In the blood, 6-thioguanine (6-TGN) is formed from 6-MP and mediates the therapeutic efficacy and most of the toxic
BACKGROUND. 6-Mercaptopurine (6MP) has been regarded as nonleukemogenic, even though the cytotoxicity of 6MP depends on the incorporation of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6TGN) into DNA. In hematopoietic cells this pathway competes with S-methylation catalyzed by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT). Ho
