摘要: Summary: In spite of over 40 years clinical use 6-mercaptopurine, many aspects complex pharmacology and metabolism this drug remain unclear. It is thought that 6-mercaptopurine oxidized to 6-thiouric acid through 6-thioxanthine or 8-oxo-6-mercaptopurine by one two molybdenum hydroxylases, xanthine oxidase (XO), however, the role other hydroxylase, aldehyde (AO), in oxidation possible interactions AO substrates inhibitors has not been investigated more details. present study, XO 6- mercaptopurine investigated. 6-Mercaptopurine was incubated with bovine milk partially purified guinea pig liver hydroxylase fractions absence presence inhibitor/substrates, reactions were monitored spectrophotometric HPLC methods. According results obtained from inhibition sudies, it likely via rather than 8-oxo-6-mercaptopurine. The first step which rate limiting catalized solely XO, whereas both are involved acid.
