Background/Aims: Thiopurines are key drugs in maintenance therapy for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Time-dependent 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) releasing preparations (time-dependent 5-ASA) increase 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN), an active metabolite of thiopurines. However, the effects of pH-dependent 5-ASA releasing preparations (pH-dependent 5-ASA) on thiopurine metabolism were not reported. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 134 IBD patients who received thiopurine treatment. The 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP)/6-TGN values after taking the same dose of thiopurine preparations for at least 28 days were included. Results: There was a significant decrease in the 6-MMP/6-TGN ratio in time-dependent 5-ASA compared with group without 5-ASA preparations and the pH-dependent 5-ASA group (p = 0.008 and < 0.001 respectively). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient indicated a negative relationship between the daily oral dose of time-dependent 5-ASA and the 6-MMP/6-TGN ratio (r = -0.362, p = 0.003). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed in the groups with 6-MMP/6-TGN ratios of 1 or more and less than 1. The use of time-dependent 5-ASA and concomitant allopurinol negatively affected the independent 6-MMP/6-TGN ratio (p = 0.006 and 0.007 respectively). Conclusion: Our study revealed that time-dependent but not pH-dependent 5-ASA decreases the 6-MMP/6-TGN ratio. We also confirmed that concomitant allopurinol results in a low 6-MMP/6TGN ratio.
