Inhibits purine synthesis

Your supervisor commends you on your pharmacological knowledge. Azathioprine is a pro-drug, which gets converted to 6-mercapto-purine (6-MP). 6-MP inhibits purine synthesis and thus DNA synthesis. This will have a cytotoxic effect on rapidly dividing immune cells.

Your supervisor advises that you monitor safety of this drug.

Which monitoring test should be used?

  • Blood pressure
  • Glomerular Filtration Rate
  • Pulmonary function
  • Full blood count
  • Mammogram
