The purine path to chemotherapy
G B Elion. Science. 1989.
Abstract
Research on antimetabolites of nucleic acid purines led to drugs for the treatment of acute leukemia (6-mercaptopurine and thioguanine), gout and hyperuricemia (allopurinol), and herpesvirus infections (acyclovir), and for the prevention of organ transplant rejection (azathioprine).
