Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Maasland Hospital, Sittard, The Netherlands
Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 15:63-7. 2003..The purpose of our study was to assess the short-term safety of 6-TG...
Pharmacogenetics of thiopurines in inflammatory bowel diseaseLuc J J Derijks
Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Maxima Medical Centre, PO Box 7777, 5500 MB Veldhoven, The Netherlands
Curr Pharm Des 16:145-54. 2010..Pharmacogenetic knowledge in this field has increased dramatically and is still rapidly increasing, but the translation into practical guidelines with tailored advices will cost much effort in the near future...
The role of xanthine oxidase in thiopurine metabolism: a case reportDennis R Wong
Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Orbis Medical Center, Maasland Hospital, Sittard, The Netherlands
Ther Drug Monit 29:845-8. 2007..High XO activity led to an inability to form detectable levels of active thiopurine metabolites 6-TGN and 6-MMPR. This finding emphasizes the important role of XO in the biotransformation of thiopurines...
