Thioamides

Pharmacokinetics



Propylthiouracil is rapidly absorbed and the
bioavailability is 50-80%
Methimazole is completely absorbed
Both thioamides cross the placental barrier
Thioamides;
Pharmacodynamics




Act by multiple mechanisms
Prevent hormone synthesis by inhibiting
the thyroid peroxidase
Inhibiting the peripheral deiodination of
T4 and T3
The onset of these agents is slow, often
requiring 3-4 weeks
Thioamides: Toxicity:




Occur in 3-12% of treated patients
Nausea and gastrointestinal distress
The most common adverse effect is a maculopapular
pruritic rash (4-6%)
Rare adverse effects include:



an urticarial rash, vasculitis, a lupus-like reaction,
lymphadenopathy, hypoprothrombinemia, exfoliative
dermatitis, polyserositis, and acute arthralgia.
Hepatitis can be fatal
The most dangerous complication is agranulocytosis
Anion Inhibitors



Perchlorate (ClO4-)
Pertechnetate (TcO4-)
Thiocyanate (SCN-)
Iodides



Inhibit organification
Hormone release
Decrease the size and vascularity of the
hyperplastic gland
Iodinated Contrast Media




diatrizoate
iohexol
inhibit the conversion of T4 to T3
inhibition of hormone release
Radioactive Iodine
I is the only isotope used for
treatment of thyrotoxicosis
therapeutic effect depends on emission
of  rays
 131

Adrenoceptor-Blocking
Agents




Metoprolol
Propranolol
Atenolol
