New Genetic Biomarkers Predicting Azathioprine Blood Concentrations in Combination Therapy with 5-Aminosalicylic Acid
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Azathioprine (AZA) is widely used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. AZA is catabolized by thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT), which exhibits genetic polymorphisms. It has also been reported that 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) inhibits TPMT activity, and that increased 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN, a metabolite of AZA) blood concentrations r...
متن کاملRandomised controlled trial of azathioprine and 5-aminosalicylic acid for treatment of steroid dependent ulcerative colitis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS There are limited evidence based data concerning the use of azathioprine in ulcerative colitis. We aimed to compare the efficacy of azathioprine and oral 5-aminosalicylic acid in inducing remission of steroid dependent ulcerative colitis. METHODS Seventy two patients with steroid dependent ulcerative colitis were admitted to this investigator-blind study. Steroid dependenc...
متن کاملElectrochemical Synthesis of 5-Aminosalicylic Acid from 5- Nitrosalicylic Acid in Alkaline Media
5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is currently prepared by electrochemical reduction of 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-NSA) in acidic media. In this work, electrolytic reduction of 5-NSA in alkaline media is presented. Reactionconditions and parameters such as anode and cathode electrodes, electrolyte type, reaction time, temperature,current, and the pH for isolation of product are investigated. The yiel...
متن کاملNephrotoxic lesions from 5-aminosalicylic Acid.
5-Aminosalicylic acid given to rats as a single intravenous injection led to necrosis of the proximal convoluted tubules and of the renal papilla. These two lesions developed at the same time and the cortical lesions did not appear to be a consequence of the renal papillary necrosis. Since the compound possesses the molecular structure both of a phenacetin derivative and of a salicylate these o...
متن کاملComparative study of concentrations in the blood of para-aminosalicylic acid in tuberculous patients.
In the Hospital Obrero of Lima we studied patients to determine concentration of PAS in blood plasma with the administration of its different forms. Sodium PAS was administered to nine patients, pure buffered PAS to 12, and PAS-K to six. The pure PAS used was buffered parasal with aluminum glycinate and calcium carbonate (Parlam-Panray); Sodium PAS was the usual and PAS-K was also of Parlam Lab...
