6-Thioguanine (6-TG) seems to be an attractive alternative in both AZA- and 6-MP-intolerant and -resistant IBD populations. However, little is known of 6-TG pharmacokinetics, metabolite levels, and their correlation with drug efficacy and toxicity in IBD patients. This study reports the 6-TG pharrnacokinetics in a Population of IBD patients and the predictive value of metabolite concentrations. Red blood cell (RBC) 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) concentrations were measured in 28 IBD patients at t = 1. 2. 4. and 8 weeks after starting 6-TG, 20 mg once daily. Outcome measures included mean 6-TGN concentrations ( 95% confidence interval [C195%]) and their associations with TPMT genotype, 6-TG dose, and hematological, hepatic, pancreatic, and efficacy parameters during the 8 week period. Steady-state 6-TGN concentrations vere reached after 4 weeks, indicating a half-life of approximately 5 days, and measured 856 (C195% 715-997) pmol/8 X 108 RBCs. Large interpatient variability occurred at all time-points. No correlation was found between steady-state 6-TGN concentrations and drug dose per kilogram body weight. No significant differences in 6-TGNt concentrations were found between patients with adverse events and patients without any event. Also, mean 6-TGN concentrations did not differ in patients with active disease versus patients in remission. In IBD patients on 6-TG treatment, large interindividual differences in metabolite concentrations occur. In our population, we could not demonstrate a clear relationship between 6-TGN concentrations on one hand and toxicity and efficacy on the other, as exist in AZA- and 6-MP-treated patients.
