Description

6-Mercaptopurine is an antigen binding molecule that is biocompatible with the human body. It binds to 6-mercaptopurine and inhibits the oxidation of proteins. The inhibition of protein oxidation has been shown to decrease disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. 6-Mercaptopurine also inhibits the production of inhibitor molecules, which are responsible for the development of cardiac effects such as arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy. 6-Mercaptopurine has inhibitory properties against polymerase chain reactions, which may be due to its ability to bind with protein thiols at high rates.
