An antimetabolite (purine antagonist) 6-mercaptopurine produced good hematologic and clinical remissions in 15 of 45 children with acute leukemia and in a few cases of early and late stages of chronic myelogenous leukemia in adults. Improvement followed its use in some children resistant to amethopterin, ACTH and cortisone. The dose in children was 2.5 mg. per kilo. Poisoning was characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms or bone marrow depression. No improvement was noted in lymphomas, sarcomas and carcinomas.
