TPMT/NUDT15 Thiopurine Dosing Simulator
Genotype-guided pharmacogenomic dosing: pick TPMT and NUDT15 metabolizer phenotypes, dose azathioprine/6-MP by fixed or genotype-adjusted strategy, and watch active metabolite accumulation drive neutrophil count toward safety or life-threatening myelosuppression.
Thiopurine drugs like azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine treat leukemia, Crohn's disease and transplant rejection — but in patients with reduced TPMT or NUDT15 enzyme activity, a standard dose can trigger life-threatening bone-marrow suppression. This simulator lets you pick a patient's TPMT and NUDT15 metabolizer phenotype, choose between fixed-dose and genotype-guided dosing strategies, and start a simulated 28-day course of therapy. A real pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model accumulates the active 6-TGN metabolite and drives a live neutrophil count (ANC) toward safety or severe neutropenia, rendered as a shrinking field of marrow cells in 3D — demonstrating exactly why pre-emptive pharmacogenomic testing is now standard of care before thiopurine therapy begins.
This simulation explores how a patient's genetic makeup influences their response to medications, allowing you to investigate the complex interplay between genes and drug metabolism. By manipulating genetic factors, you can observe the effects on drug efficacy and potential adverse reactions – a crucial step in personalized medicine.
