Abstract | Thiopurine treatment is regularly complicated by drug-induced liver injury. It has been suggested that oxidative stress may play a synergistic role. To assess whether thiopurine-induced liver injury coincides with increased oxidative stress and whether co-administration with N-acetylcysteine is protective, we performed a randomized open label crossover pilot study in inflammatory bowel disease patients with thiopurine-induced increased serum liver tests. The study comprised four stages of 4 weeks. Patients received no additional therapy followed by N-acetylcysteine 1200 mg twice a day, or the other way around, alongside ongoing thiopurine treatment. The third and fourth stages comprised a washout period and thiopurine reintroduction period. Nine patients completed the study, and the addition of N-acetylcysteine decreased myeloperoxidase concentrations (33.6-24.5 pmol/L, p = 0.038). The other biomarkers remained unchanged, including thiopurine metabolites, xanthine oxidase activity, thiopurine S-methyltransferase activity and serum liver enzyme activity tests. Reintroduction of thiopurines led to an increase of F2-isoprostanes (101-157 ng/mmol, p = 0.038), but not of serum liver enzyme activity tests. Results suggests that thiopurines may increase oxidative stress and although the addition of N-acetylcysteine led to a decrease in plasma myeloperoxidase concentrations, it does not protect from thiopurine-induced increase of serum liver tests. |
