Sulphasalazine inhibition of thiopurine methyltransferase: possible mechanism for interaction with 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine.

Thiopurine drugs are used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease--as are sulphasalazine and its metabolite 5-aminosalicylic acid (ASA). S-Methylation catalyzed by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is a major pathway in the metabolism of thiopurines. The hypothesis was tested that TPMT migh...
