6-Thioguanine

Crystalline, lyophilized, sterile, endotChEBI: A 2-aminopurine that is the 6-thiono derivative of 2-amino-1,9-dihydro-6H-purine.The drug is available in 40-mg tablets for oral use.Thioguanine is used to treat acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.The mechanism of action involves incorporation of thetriphosphate into DNA and RNA, resulting in inhibition ofprocessing and function. Intracellular phosphorylation is requiredfor activity and inhibition of purine biosynthesis.Resistance can include decreased

6-thioguanine appears as odorless or almost odorless pale yellow crystalline powder. (NTP, 1992)|Tioguanine is a 2-aminopurine that is the 6-thiono derivative of 2-amino-1,9-dihydro-6H-purine. Incorporates into DNA and inhibits synthesis. Used in the treatment of leukaemia. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an antimetabolite and an anticoronaviral agent.|An antineoplastic compound which also has antimetabolite action. The drug is used in the therapy of acute leukemia.|Thioguanine anhydrous is an Antimetabolite.|Azathioprine is a purine analogue and prodrug of mercaptopurine that is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplantation to prevent rejection and in autoimmune diseases as a corticosteroid sparing agent. Azathioprine is associated with minor, usually transient and asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels during therapy and with rare instances of acute, cholestatic liver injury and, with long term use, noncirrhotic portal hypertension as a result of nodular regenerative hyperplasia or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome.|Thioguanine (also referred to as 6-thioguanine and as tioguanine) is a purine analogue that is used in the therapy of acute and chronic myelogenous leukemias. Thioguanine therapy is associated with minor, usually transient and asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has also been linked to rare instances of cholestatic acute liver injury and to chronic liver injury, resulting in portal hypertension due to nodular regenerative hyperplasia.|Thioguanine Anhydrous is the anhydrous salt form of thioguanine, a synthetic guanosine analogue antimetabolite, with antineoplastic activity. Thioguanine is phosphorylated by hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase to 6-thioguanylic acid (TGMP) and upon conversion to thioguanosine diphosphate (TGDP) and thioguanosine triphosphate (TGTP), this agent is incorporated into DNA and RNA, resulting in inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis and cell death. This agent also inhibits glutamine-5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase, thereby inhibiting purine ribonulceotide synthesis.
