摘要
High-dose methotrexate (HDM) given concurrently with oral 6-mercaptopurine (6 MP) may be followed by myelotoxicity, which may necessitate treatment interruption and thus interfere with the efficacy of the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Through inhibition of purine de novo synthesis and enhancement of the bioavailability, HDM may increase the incorporation into DNA of 6-thioguanine nucleotides, the cytotoxic metabolites of 6 MP.
