Mercaptopurine Action Pathway (New)
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126475Drug actionThis drug is a purine analogue, so it acts by interfering with the nucleic acid biosynthesis in cells. More specifically, this molecule is an analogue of the adenine and hypoxanthine bases. … By being an analogue of those, mercaptopurine competes with them for the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRTase) enzyme and is itself converted to thioinosinic acid (TIMP).

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125721DiseaseAdenosine deaminiase deficiency (immunodeficiency) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a muation in the ADA gene which codes for adenosine deaminase. A deficiency in this enzyme results in immunodeficiency and a decreased concent...

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125727DiseaseXanthinuria Type I (Xanthine Dehydrogenase Deficiency) is a condition caused by an autosomal recessive mutation. The condition was discovered (though not diagnosed) in 1817, when stones formed of almost pure xanthine were first identifie...

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125732DiseaseAPRTD is treatable with regular doses of allopurinol, which inhibits xanthine dehydrogenase activity. APRTD can also be treated with a low-purine diet and a high fluid intake. … It is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with a mutation in the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT).
