Tioguanine is an antineoplastic agent from the purine analog class. This drug also has antimetabolite action. Tioguanine is indicated for remission induction and remission consolidation in the treatment of acute nonlymphocytic leukemias. When this drug enters the cells, it competes with hypoxanthine and guanine for the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRTase) and is itself converted to 6-thioguanilyic acid (TGMP), which reaches high intracellular concentrations at therapeutic doses. TGMP is a cytotoxic agent, it will interfere with the synthesis of guanine nucleotides by inhibiting the glutamine-5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate aminotransferase (de novo pathway of purine ribonucleotide synthesis) enzyme by pseudofeedback. Furthermore, 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. The final result is the sequential blockade of the usage and synthesis of purines, leading to apoptosis in the S phase of the cell cycle. This drug is administered as an oral tablet. An overdose of tioguanine may result in symptoms like nausea, vomiting, malaise, hypotension, and diaphoresis.
