Azathioprine
An immunosuppressant created in the late 1950s by Gertrude Elion and George Hitchings, Nobel laureates in medicine in 1988: it helps prevent transplant rejection and is used in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
