azathioprine and Experimental Hepatoma

azathioprine has been researched along with Experimental Hepatoma in 5 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Azathioprine is a widely used anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anticancer agent."1.37Oral azathioprine leads to higher incorporation of 6-thioguanine in DNA of skin than liver: the protective role of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway. ( Dinkova-Kostova, AT; Finlayson, S; Kalra, S; Knatko, EV; Yamamoto, M; Zhang, Y, 2011)
"In diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-treated rats, which were fed a N-2-fluorenylacetamide (FAA)-containing diet and additionally treated with repeated CCl4 injections, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GTP)-positive hyperplastic nodules were markedly developed in the 8th week of the experiment."1.27Effects of carbon tetrachloride and azathioprine on diethylnitrosamine and N-2-fluorenylacetamide-induced hyperplastic liver nodule and hepatocellular carcinoma. ( Sakata, T, 1984)
