Hello dear ☺❤

Here's the answer ⤵

❄Azathioprine antagonizes purine metabolism and may inhibit synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins.

❄It may also interfere with cellular metabolism and inhibit mitosis.

❄Its mechanism of action is likely due to incorporation of thiopurine analogues into the DNA structure, causing chain termination and cytotoxicity.

Hope it is helpful ✌
