The results of extraction of 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine from aqueous saline solutions with organic solvents of different chemical nature and their mixtures are presented. Synergism between the distribution coefficients was demonstrated during the extraction of the above compounds with 1,4-dioxane and chloroform mixtures. The use of a chloroform--1,4-dioxane system in the molar ratio of 0.8:0.2 as a solvent resulted in the maximum values of distribution coefficients of 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine.

Painful ulcerations developed in a 33-year-old woman with anti-NXP-2-positive dermatomyositis in the facial and trunk areas and a 67-year-old woman with TIF1-gamma-positive dermatomyositis on the hands, while undergoing systemic therapy with azathioprine or low-dose methylprednisolone and cyclic administration of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), respectively. In the laboratory workup, the anti-MDA‑5 antibody status remained negative and the creatine kinase (CK) normal in both patients, while histopathological examinations were nonspecific. Intensive topical class 4 corticosteroid therapy and continuation of the immunosuppressive or immunomodulating therapy led to healing of the ulcerative skin lesions.
