The reliable AZA dose-metabolites relationship is useful for clinicians to guide the dosing regimen to maximize clinical response and minimize side effects or to consider alternative therapies when patients have preferential production of the toxic 6-MeMPN. These results may be of potential interest for optimizing thiopurine therapy to achieve safe and efficacious AZA use in pediatric IBD patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
