CLINICALLY, THIOGUANINE HAS BEEN USED IN THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE LEUKEMIA AND, IN COMBINATION WITH CYTARABINE, IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AGENTS FOR INDUCTION OF REMISSIONS IN ACUTE GRANULOCYTIC LEUKEMIA; IT HAS NOT BEEN USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH SOLID TUMORS. THIS CMPD HAS BEEN USED AS AN IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE AGENT, PARTICULARLY IN PATIENTS WITH NEPHROSIS AND WITH COLLAGEN-VASCULAR DISORDERS. TOXIC MANIFESTATIONS INCLUDE BONE MARROW DEPRESSION AND GI EFFECTS, ALTHOUGH THE LATTER MAY BE LESS PRONOUNCED THAN WITH MERCAPTOPURINE.

SHORT TERM TREATMENT WITH DOXORUBICIN, CYTARABINE, & 6-THIOGUANINE WAS GIVEN TO 90 PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA. FIFTY PATIENTS RECEIVED HIGH DOSES (REGIMEN 1) & 41 RECEIVED VERY HIGH DOSES (REGIMEN 2). REMISSION RATE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER WITH REGIMEN 1 THAN WITH REGIMEN 2. DURATION OF REMISSION WAS, HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER WITH REGIMEN 2.

SIGNIFICANT SYMPTOMATIC BENEFIT WAS SEEN IN 52% OF PATIENTS. TOXICITY WAS PREDOMINATELY HEMOPOIETIC & GI.

Risk-benefit should be considered when the following medical problems exist: Bone marrow depression; chickenpox, existing or recent (including recent exposure; herpes zoster (risk of severe generalized disease); gout, history of; urate renal stones, history of (risk of hyperuricemia); hepatic function impairment (reduced biotransformation; lower dosage is recommended); infection; renal function impairment (reduced elimination; lower dosage is recommended); or sensitivity to thioguanine. Caution should be used also in patients who have had cytotoxic drug therapy and radiation therapy within 4 to 6 weeks.

Because normal defense mechanisms may be suppressed by thioguanine therapy, concurrent use with alive virus vaccine may potentiate the replication of the vaccine virus, may increase the side/adverse effects of the vaccine virus, and/or may decrease the patient's antibody response to the vaccine; immunization of these patients should be undertaken only with extreme caution after careful review of the patient's hematologic status and only with the knowledge and consent of the physician managing the thioguanine therapy. The interval between discontinuation of medication that cause immunosuppression and restoration of the patient's ability to respond to the vaccine depends on the intensity and type of immunosuppression-causing medication used, the underlying disease, and other factors; estimates vary from 3 months to 1 year. Patients with leukemia in remission should not receive live virus vaccine until at least 3 months after their last chemotherapy. Immunization with oral poliovirus vaccine should also be postponed in persons in close contact with the patient, especially family members.

For remission induction and remission consolidation treatment of acute nonlymphocytic leukemias.
FDA Label
Thioguanine is an antineoplastic anti-metabolite used in the treatment of several forms of leukemia including acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. Anti-metabolites masquerade as purine or pyrimidine - which become the building blocks of DNA. They prevent these substances becoming incorporated in to DNA during the "S" phase (of the cell cycle), stopping normal development and division. Thioguanine was first synthesized and entered into clinical trial more than 30 years ago. It is a 6-thiopurine analogue of the naturally occurring purine bases hypoxanthine and guanine. Intracellular activation results in incorporation into DNA as a false purine base. An additional cytotoxic effect is related to its incorporation into RNA. Thioguanine is cross-resistant with mercaptopurine. Cytotoxicity is cell cycle phase-specific (S-phase).

THE METABOLISM AND PHARMACOKINETICS OF 6-THIOGUANINE WERE STUDIED IN DOGS AFTER IV ADMIN OF 5 MG/KG (35)S-THIOGUANINE (TG). THIOGUANINE WAS RAPIDLY & EXTENSIVELY DEGRADED. METABOLITES WERE NOT FOUND IN THE CEREBROSPINAL FLUID IN SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS.

Hepatic. First converted to 6-thioguanilyic acid (TGMP). TGMP is further converted to the di- and tri-phosphates, thioguanosine diphosphate (TGDP) and thioguanosine triphosphate (TGTP) by the same enzymes that metabolize guanine nucleotides.
... WHEN THIOGUANINE IS ADMIN TO MAN, THE S-METHYLATION PRODUCT, 2-AMINO-6-METHYLTHIOPURINE, RATHER THAN FREE THIOGUANINE APPEARS IN URINE; INORGANIC SULFATE IS ALSO A MAJOR URINARY METABOLITE. LESSER AMT OF 6-THIOURIC ACID ARE FORMED, SUGGESTING THAT DEAMINATION CATALYZED BY THE ENZYME GUANASE DOES NOT HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN THE METABOLIC INACTIVATION OF THIOGUANINE.

THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF RADIOLABELED 6-THIOGUANINE (TG) WERE COMPARED WITH THAT OF BETA-2'-DEOXYTHIOGUANOSINE (BETA-TGDR) AFTER IV ADMIN. URINARY EXCRETION OF THE RADIOLABEL WAS 75% OF THE DOSE 24 HR AFTER ADMIN. BOTH THIOPURINES WERE RAPIDLY & EXTENSIVELY DEGRADED & EXCRETED AS 6-THIOXANTHINE, INORGANIC SULFATE, S-METHYL-6-THIOXANTHINE, & 6-THIOURIC ACID IN ADDITION TO OTHER PRODUCTS. SMALL AMOUNTS OF UNCHANGED DRUG WERE ALSO EXCRETED. STUDIES SUGGEST THAT BETA-TGDR IS A LATENT FORM OF TG. SINCE RESISTANCE TO ANTILEUKEMIC AGENT 6-THIOGUANINE INEVITABLY DEVELOPS IN ANIMAL TUMORS, THIS NEW AGENT BETA-TGDR IS OF POTENTIAL CLINICAL USE.

When the compound was given in singles doses of 65 to 300 mg/m^2, the median plasma half-disappearance time was 80 minutes (range 25-240 minutes)
Thioguanine competes with hypoxanthine and guanine for the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRTase) and is itself converted to 6-thioguanilyic acid (TGMP), which reaches high intracellular concentrations at therapeutic doses. TGMP interferes with the synthesis of guanine nucleotides by its inhibition of purine biosynthesis by pseudofeedback inhibition of glutamine-5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase, the first enzyme unique to the de novo pathway of purine ribonucleotide synthesis. TGMP also inhibits the conversion of inosinic acid (IMP) to xanthylic acid (XMP) by competition for the enzyme IMP dehydrogenase. Thioguanine nucleotides are incorporated into both the DNA and the RNA by phosphodiester linkages, and some studies have shown that incorporation of such false bases contributes to the cytotoxicity of thioguanine. Its tumor inhibitory properties may be due to one or more of its effects on feedback inhibition of de novo purine synthesis; inhibition of purine nucleotide interconversions; or incorporation into the DNA and RNA. The overall result of its action is a sequential blockade of the utilization and synthesis of the purine nucleotides.
THIOGUANINE, THE 6-THIO ANALOGUE OF GUANINE, IS A PRODRUG THAT IS CONVERTED TO 6-THIOGUANINE-RIBOSE-PHOSPHATE, AN ACTIVE METABOLITE. ... 6-THIOGUANINE-RIBOSE-PHOSPHATE IS A FEEDBACK INHIBITOR OF THE INITIAL (AMIDOTRANSFERASE) STEP IN PURINE BIOSYNTHESIS. THIS METABOLITE ALSO BLOCKS CONVERSIONS OF INOSINIC ACID TO GUANYLIC ACID & OF GUANYLIC ACID TO GDP. THIOGUANINE ALSO IS CONVERTED TO THE DEOXYNUCLEOTIDE TRIPHOSPHATE, WHICH CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO TUMOR CELL DNA. ALTHOUGH SOME INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE MAJOR MECHANISM OF CYTOTOXICITY, THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE VARIOUS SITES OF ACTION HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. ... THIOGUANINE IS CELL-CYCLE SPECIFIC FOR THE S PHASE.

APPARENTLY, THE METABOLISM OF 6-THIOGUANINE TO 6-THIOGUANOSINE IN SARCOMA 180 & 180/TG CELLS IS MEDIATED BY PURINE NUCLEOSIDE PHOSPHORYLASE & NEWLY SYNTHESIZED 6-THIOGUANOSINE IS READILY EFFLUXED INTO THE CELLULAR ENVIRONMENT. THE FORMATION OF 6-THIOGUANINE, BY PURINE NUCLEOSIDE PHOSPHORYLASE, MAY BE IMPORTANT TO THE EXPRESSION OF CELLULAR SENSITIVITY TO 6-THIOGUANINE, IN THAT IT DECR THE AVAIL OF 6-THIOGUANINE FOR DIRECT CONVERSION BY HYPOXANTHINE-GUANINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE TO THE NUCLEOTIDE LEVEL, A PHENOMENON CRITICAL TO THE EXPRESSION OF THE ANTINEOPLASTIC ACTIVITY OF THE 6-THIOPURINES.

SPONTANEOUSLY CYCLING LYMPHOCYTES (IN CELL DIVISION IN CULTURES WITHOUT ADDITION OF PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININ, PHA) GO THROUGH VARIOUS PHASES OF 1ST DIVISION WITH THE SAME KINETICS AS PHA-STIMULATED CELLS. IN SAMPLES FROM 10 REFERENTS, THE FREQUENCY OF SPONTANEOUSLY CYCLING LYMPHOCYTES VARIED FROM 8.9X10-5 TO 9.5X10-3 AS INDICATED WITH AUTORADIOGRAPHY ON CELLS IN (S + G2) PHASE DETERMINED BY FLOW SORTING. IN PHA-STIMULATED SAMPLES FROM THE SAME PERSONS THE FREQUENCY OF 6-THIOGUANINE (TG)-RESISTANT VARIANTS WAS BETWEEN 4X10-7 & 2.6X10-6, WHICH INDICATES THAT MOST OF THE SPONTANEOUSLY CYCLING CELLS WERE TG-SENSITIVE.
