Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of
Thiopurines at SingHealth Clinical
Pharmacology
*Note: Photographs will be taken during the event for publicity purpose.
Insightful knowledge about Flow Cytometry will be shared at
our November Research Grand Rounds from our presenters:
SingHealth Clinical Pharmacology has developed and
validated an LC-MS/MS method.

This method allows the therapeutic monitoring of 6-thioguanine
nucleotides (6-TGN) and 6-methyl mercaptopurine nucleotides
(6-MMPN) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
receiving azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP).
2) Charles-Antoine Dutertre, Research Fellow, Duke-NUS
Graduate Medical School
