Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) - Testing.com
2021年11月9日 · Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that breaks down a class of drugs called thiopurines. TPMT tests are used to identify people at risk of developing severe side effects from thiopurine treatment.
Thiopurines: Pretreatment testing and approach to ... - UpToDate
2022年10月14日 · Strategies for reducing the risk of adverse events, improving tolerability, and improving disease control include pretreatment screening for thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) enzyme activity, routine laboratory monitoring, and therapeutic drug monitoring [1].
Thiopurine methyltransferase - Wikipedia
TPMT catalyzes the S-methylation of thiopurine drugs. Defects in the TPMT gene leads to decreased methylation and decreased inactivation of 6MP leading to enhanced bone marrow toxicity which may cause myelosuppression, anemia, bleeding tendency, leukopenia & infection.
TPMT3 - Overview: Thiopurine Methyltransferase Activity Profile ...
Detection of individuals with low thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity who are at risk for excessive myelosuppression or severe hematopoietic toxicity when taking thiopurine drugs.
A practical guide to thiopurine prescribing and monitoring in IBD
This review gives a practical overview of thiopurine metabolism, the importance of thiopurine S-methyltransferase testing prior to the start of therapy and the monitoring of thioguanine nucleotide levels while on treatment, guiding a personalised approach to optimising thiopurine therapy.
TPMT (Thiopurine methyl transferase) - Gloucestershire Hospitals …
Thiopurines are catabolised to inactive metabolites by thiopurine methyl transferase (TPMT), which in effect reduces concentrations of the active metabolite, 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6TGN). TPMT activity exhibits genetic variation.
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase deficiency - MedlinePlus
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) deficiency is a condition characterized by significantly reduced activity of an enzyme that helps the body process drugs called thiopurines. Explore symptoms, inheritance, genetics of this condition.

2023年6月15日 · Approximately 0.3% of the population lack thiopurine s-methyltransferase (TPMT), an enzyme which helps remove thiopurine drugs such as azathioprine from the body. In addition approximately 11% of the population have measurable but reduced levels of TPMT (so called intermediate group).
Thiopurine Methyltransferase Activity (Sendout)
The activity of TPMT is measured by 3 different substrates. Reports include the quantitative activity level of TPMT for each of 3 different substrates and an interpretation of these results.
