Application

2-Mercaptopurine (2-MP), a thiopurine and analog of the anti-cancer drug 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), has been used to study the substrate and binding specificity and kinetics of xanthine oxidase-catalyzed hydroxylation and myeloperoxidase (MPO) reactions. 2-Mercaptopurine inhibited lipopolysacharide (LPS)-dependent nitric oxide (NO) production in B cells.

6-Mercaptopurine and related purine antimetabolites are used in the treatment of several B cell disorders. These drugs inhibited the proliferation of mature splenic B cells after being triggered with polyclonal mitogens. In addition to the antiproliferative effects, 6-mercaptopurine, 2-mercaptopurine, and
