摘要：
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of cancer or Temodal resistant glioblastoma multiform comprising azathioprine as an active ingredient. The azathioprine of the present invention is not only effective in inhibiting the growth of glioblastoma multiform, a kind of brain tumor, but also excellent in treating glioblastoma multiform that displays resistance against Temodal (temozolomide), the conventional therapeutic agent for glioblastoma multiform, so that it can be effectively used as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of such cancer as brain tumor (particularly, glioblastoma multiform) and particularly Temodal resistant glioblastoma multiform.
