Azathioprine is a prodrug of 6-mercaptopurine, first synthesized in 1956 by Gertrude Elion, William Lange, and George Hitchings in an attempt to produce a derivative of 6-mercaptopurine with a better therapeutic index.[A189678,A189687,A189690] Azathioprine is used to treat inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and as an immunosuppressant in the prevention of renal transplant rejection. Azathiprine was granted FDA approval on 20 March 1968.
Sipuleucel-T is a personalized, autologous, cellular immunotherapy. Sipuleucel-T is a therapeutic cancer vaccine for prostate cancer. Sipuleucel-T selectively targets the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) known as prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) that is expressed in around 95% of prostate cancers. It must be prepared specifically for each patient. In metastatic prostate cancer, it has extended survival by median 4.1 months (IMPACT Phase III trial data). Sipuleucel-T is marketed under the brand name Provenge by Dendreon Corporation. Sipuleucel-T was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 29, 2010, to treat asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC). The treatment initially cost $93,000 at the time of FDA approval, but rose to over $100,000 in 2014.
