azathioprine and Collagen Diseases

azathioprine has been researched along with Collagen Diseases in 40 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Collagen Diseases: Historically, a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, etc. This classification was based on the notion that collagen was equivalent to connective tissue, but with the present recognition of the different types of collagen and the aggregates derived from them as distinct entities, the term collagen diseases now pertains exclusively to those inherited conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1494)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A prospective study in the United Kingdom of 1,634 patients without transplants treated with immunosuppressive drugs (68 percent with azathioprine, 28 percent with cyclophosphamide) found an excess of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and squamous cell skin cancer, suggesting that the excesses (although larger) of the same malignancies found among transplant recipients are not due solely to the foreign antigens of the graft."3.67Incidence of cancer in rheumatoid arthritis and other disorders after immunosuppressive treatment. ( Kinlen, LJ, 1985)
"B-, T- and O-lymphocytes detected as EAC-, E- and non-rosette forming lymphocytes were investigated in venous blood in 49 patients with connective tissue diseases, psoriasis and chronic lymphogenous leukaemia (CLL) during treatment with either prednisone alone, prednisone and cytostatic agents or cytostatic agents alone."3.65Influence of prednisone and cytostatics on human blood B-, T- and O-lymphocytes in diseases. ( Jonsson, V, 1975)
