    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.

    Abstract Introduction: The incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease are increasing causing a significant disease burden. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is advocated as a promising tool for personalized or individual-tailored therapy strategies and has been welcomed as a new means to improve current therapy strategies. Nevertheless, pharmacokinetic-based TDM has limitations, and straightforward target concentrations for most therapies are lacking. Areas covered: In the following concise review of literature, key insights of TDM in thiopurine, methotrexate, anti-TNF, vedolizumab and ustekinumab therapy for Crohn's disease are being described. Expert opinion: Therapeutic drug monitoring may, up till now, be helpful to adjust thiopurine and infliximab therapy, primarily in a reactive setting, in case of inefficacy and of occurrence of adverse event. With this restricted application, the goal of individualized therapy based on TDM has not yet been achieved.

    Abstract Background: Thiopurines (azathioprine and mercaptopurine) are frequently used immunosuppressive drugs to maintain remission in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Half of the conventional thiopurine-derivative users have to discontinue treatment within 5 years, mainly because of intolerable adverse events. Over recent years, different strategies to optimize thiopurine treatment were suggested, yet, studies describing the clinical effectiveness of these strategies remain scarce. The aims of this study were to compare tolerability and sustained clinical benefit of conventional thiopurine derivatives therapy among two 5-year real-life intercept cohorts and to assess the clinical value of specifically allopurinol cotherapy.
    Methods: In this retrospective single-center cohort study, we analyzed data from patients in whom weight-based thiopurine monotherapy was initiated between 2005 and 2009 (cohort 1) or between 2010 and 2014 (cohort 2). The initiation of the second cohort was synchronic to the start of allopurinol-based optimization in our center. Optimization strategies were extracted from patient charts.
    Results: In total, 105 patients were included (60 in cohort 1, and 45 in cohort 2). Metabolite measurement was performed in 37% versus 84% of the patients (P < 0.001). Subsequent optimization strategies were applied in 33% versus 58% of the patients because of inadequate metabolite concentrations, intolerance, or ineffectiveness (P = 0.01). Allopurinol was coadministered to therapy in 18 patients (40%) in the second cohort. Therapy was switched to thioguanine in 11 versus 6 patients (P > 0.05). Overall, total duration was longer in the second cohort (10.8 versus 34.1 months, P < 0.001). The number of ongoing thiopurine users (20% versus 49%) and sustained clinical benefit (13% versus 38%) were higher in the second cohort (both P < 0.05). This was mainly because of a decrease in hepatotoxicity after optimization (P < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Optimization of thiopurine therapy by the use of therapeutic drug monitoring with subsequent administration of allopurinol cotherapy successfully enhanced sustained clinical benefit and tolerability in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

    Abstract Background: Thiopurines have been widely accepted as immunosuppressive therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. However, many patients have to discontinue thiopurines due to intolerance or ineffectiveness. A therapeutically beneficial effect of switching from azathioprine (AZA) to mercaptopurine (MP) after developing adverse events (AEs) has been reported. The authors assessed the clinical value of MP therapy after AZA discontinuation due to intolerance and, secondary, due to ineffectiveness.
    Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, the authors analyzed data from patients in whom AZA therapy had failed and who were subsequently treated with MP.
    Results: Thirty-eight patients initiated MP therapy after intolerance to AZA. Intolerance reoccurred in 22 (58%) patients and the remaining 16 (42%) tolerated MP. In 18 out of 48 patients (38%), the AEs that led to discontinuation of MP were similar to those of AZA. A longer duration of prior AZA use was more common in patients who were subsequently tolerant for MP (5.3 versus 1.2 months; P = 0.04). Twenty-two patients discontinued AZA due to ineffectiveness. Eight (36%) patients had clinical benefit from a switch to MP. Six out of these 8 (75%) patients used allopurinol alongside MP, due to ineffectiveness based on a skewed thiopurine metabolism. Patients were more likely to have clinical benefit if the interval between both thiopurines was longer (4.4 versus 0.01 months; P < 0.05).
    Conclusions: The authors showed that a noteworthy number of patients benefitted therapeutically from a switch from AZA to MP when failing due to intolerance or ineffectiveness; however, the percentage was lower than previously reported in literature.

    Abstract The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasing. Although the etiology of IBD is unknown, it is thought that genetically susceptible individuals display an inappropriate inflammatory response to commensal microbes, resulting in intestinal tissue damage. Key proteins involved in regulating the immune response, and thus in inflammation, are the small triphosphate-binding protein Rac and its regulatory network. Recent data suggest these proteins to be involved in (dys)regulation of the characteristic inflammatory processes in IBD. Moreover, Rac-gene variants have been identified as susceptibility risk factors for IBD, and Rac1 GTPase signaling has been shown to be strongly suppressed in non-inflamed mucosa compared with inflamed colonic mucosa in IBD. In addition, first-line immunosuppressive treatment for IBD includes thiopurine therapy, and its immunosuppressive effect is primarily ascribed to Rac1 suppression. In this review, we focus on Rac modification and its potential role in the development of IBD, Rac as the molecular therapeutic target in current thiopurine therapy, and the modulation of the Rac signal transduction pathway as a promising novel therapeutic strategy.
