Thyroid & Antithyroid Drugs
Fig 1 Fig 2
* Thyroid follicles are the structural & functional units of the thyroid gland. * Each follicle is surround mainly by simple cuboidal epithelium and is filled with a colloid which mainly composed by thyroglobulin. * Thyroid hormones are mainly synthesized in colloid while the simple cuboidal epithelium undertaking thyroglobulin production, iodide intake & thyroid hormones release.

●●Synthesis of thyroid hormonesSynthesis of thyroid hormones
Thyroid hormones
triiodothyronine (T3)
tetraiodothyronine (T4, thyroxine)
Materials
iodine & tyrosine
Steps
1. Iodide is trapped by sodium-iodide symporter
2. Iodide is oxidized by thyroidalthyroidal peroxidase peroxidase to iodine
3. Tyrosine in thyroglobulin is iodinated and forms MIT & DIT
4. Iodotyrosines condensation
MIT+DIT→T3; DIT+DIT→T4
Thioamide drugs
MIT: monoiodotyrosine
DIT: diiodotyrosine

Intra-thyroidal synthesis and processing of thyroidal hormones
1. Iodide is taken up at the basolateral cell membrane and transported to the apical membrane
2. Polypeptide chains of Tg (thyroglobulin) are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and posttranslational modifications take place in the Golgi
3. Newly formed Tg is transported to the cell surface in small apical vesicles (AV)
4. Within the follicular lumen, iodide is activated and iodinates tyrosyl residues on Tg, producing fully iodinated Tg containing MIT, DIT, T4 and a small amount of T3 (organification and coupling), which is stored as colloid in the follicular lumen
5. Upon TSH stimulation, villi at the apical membrane engulf the colloid and endocytose the iodinated Tg as either colloid droplets (CD) or small vesicles (MPV)
6. Lysosomal proteolysis of the droplets or vesicles hydrolyzes Tg to release its iodinated amino acids and carbohydrates
7. T4 and T3 are released into the circulation
8. DIT and MIT are deiodinated, and the iodide and tyrosine are recycled
thyroidalthyroidal peroxidase peroxidase

●Regulation of thyroid function
TRH: thyrotropin-releasing hormoneTSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone

●●PPhysiological actions of thyroid hormoneshysiological actions of thyroid hormones
To normalize growth and development, body
temperature, and energy levels
▲Insufficiency→ cretinism (infant & child), and myxede
ma (adult);
▲Excess→hyperthyroid
To enhance CNS excitability & sensitivity of CVS to NA
# T3 is 3 to 4 times more potent than T4 in heat production;
# T4 in colloid is about 4 times more numerous than T3 ;

cretinism
myxedema
hyperthyroid

Stems from both the hyperthyroid and hypothyroid conditions,
results from the accumulation of increased amounts of
hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate in the dermis in both
lesional and normal skin.
The mechanism that causes myxedema is still not yet
understood. Sympotoms include:
●Skin thickening ●Coarse skin ●Change in facial appearance
●Thickening nose ●Swollen lips ●Puffiness around the eyes
●Jelly-like infiltrations in subcutaneous tissues ●Slow speech
●Mental dullness ●Lethargy ●Mental problems
●Dry skin ●Yellow skin ●Swollen subcutaneous tissue
●Weight gain ●Constipation ●Thinning hair
● Brittle hair ●Bald patches ●Muscle pains
Myxedema
8
• Some of T4 are converted to T3 in kidney and liver
• The actions of T3 on several organ systems are shown
• BMR: basal metabolic rate; CNS: central nervous system
●Mechanism of actions of thyroid hormones
T3, via its nuclear
receptor, induces
new proteins
generation which
produce effects

● ● RepresentativeRepresentative drugs drugs
levothyroxine (L-T4, levoxyl, synthroid)
liothyronine (T3, cytomel, triostat)
liotrix (T4 plus T3) (euthyroid, thyrolar)
Thyroid drugs
●● PharmacokineticsPharmacokinetics
po easily absorbed; the bioavailablity of T4 is 80%, and T3 is 9
5%.
Drugs that induce hepatic microsomal enzymes (e.g., rifampin,
phenbarbital, phenytoin, and etc) improve their metabolism.

●Pharmacological effect see physiological effect
● Clinical use
1.Hypothyroidism: cretinism & myxedema;
2.simple goiter: for pathogeny remaining unclear
(endemic goiter directly supply iodine)
3. Others:
● Adverse reactions
Overmuch leads to thyrotoxicosis;
Angina or myocardial infarction usually appears in
ageds

◆Structure

Pharmacological action
Inhibition of the synthesis of T3T3 && T4T4
MechanismMechanism
All thioamides inhibit peroxidase-catalyzing reactions
Iodine organification
Iodotyrosines condensation
Propylthiouracil also inhibit T4 converting to T3
CharacteristicsCharacteristics
① Result appears slowly: in 3-4 w hyperthyroid ameliorate
d, and in 2-3 months BMR normalized;
② Long-term use leads to thyroid hyperplasia
③ Methimazole is 10 times as potent as propylthiouracil
First choice for thyroid crisis

Clinical use
treatment of hyperthyroid
1. Mild hyperthyroid and those surgery & 131I no
t permitted;
2. Operation preparation;
3. Thyroid crisis (comprehensive therapy).
Adverse reactions
1. Long-term use leads to thyroid hyperplasia;
2. Pruritic maculopapular rash is the most common
adverse raaction
3. The severe adverse reaction is agranulocytosis

Iodides (NaI, KI)

Decrease of size & vascularity of the hyperplastic glandDecrease of size & vascularity of the hyperplastic gland
Clinical use
Ministrant treatment of hyperthyroid
1. Operation preparation;
2. Thyroid crisis.
Adverse reactions
1. Acneiform rash (similar to that of bromism);
2. Swollen salivary glands, mucous membrane ulcerations, and etc.

Radioactive iodine (131I)
131I is the only isotope for treatment of thyrotoxicosis.
Its therapeutic effect depends on emission of β rays with an
effective half-life of 5 days & a penetration range of 0.4-2 mm.
Woman in pregnancy or lactation is forbidden!
β-adrenoceptor blockers
βblockers are effective in treatment of thyrotoxicosis.
Propranolol is the most widely studied and used.
