Abstract

The thiopurines are widely used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but are limited by poor dose-effect relationship. The objective was to assess the ability of a novel assay, determining the mono-, di-, and triphosphates, of thioguanine as well as methylthioinosine as individual metabolites in erythrocytes, to predict clinical outcome compared to a routine assay, determining metabolites as sums.
