55774-33-9Cn1cnc([N+](=O)[O-])c1Sc1ncnc2[n-]cnc12.[Na+]WISNYKIQFMKSDQ-UHFFFAOYSA-NAzathioprine Sodium is the sodium salt form of azathioprine, a pro-drug of purine analogue with immunosuppressive activity. Azathioprine is converted in vivo to its active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), which substitutes for the normal nucleoside and mistakenly gets incorporated into DNA sequences. This leads to inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. As a result, cell proliferation may be inhibited, particularly in lymphocytes and leukocytes.

Purine Antimetabolite [EPC]; Purines [CS]; Nucleosides [CS]; Nucleic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors [MoA]
Drugs that are chemically similar to naturally occurring metabolites, but differ enough to interfere with normal metabolic pathways. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2033)
Antimetabolites that are useful in cancer chemotherapy.
Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
Drugs that are used to treat RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
