THYROID AND ANTITHYROID DRUG

IODIDE METABOLISM

- The recommended daily adult iodide (I-)


intake is 150 g (200 g during pregnancy)
- Iodide ingested from : food, water,
medication
- Iodide ingested is rapidly absorbed and
enters extracellular fluid pool
- Iodide intake increase  fractional iodine
up take by the thyroid is diminished
Biosynthesis of thyroid humane
Pharmacokinetics of Thyroid Hormone
- Thyroxin is well absorbed in duodenum and
ileum
- Oral bioavailability of thyroid hormone :
The metabolism of both T3 and T4 are increased by
dregs that induce hepatic microsomal enzymes
ANTITHYROID AGENTS
1. Thioamides
- Consist of Methimazole and PropyHhiouracil (PTU)
- Methimazole is ± ten times more potent than PTU
- cd The chemical structure of thioamides are shown
below :
PHARMACOKINETICS THIOAMIDES
PTU
- Rapidly absorbed, reaching peak serum levels after 1 hour
- The volume of distribution approximates total body water with
accumulation in the thyroid gland
- Half-life is 1.5 hours
- Excreted by the kidney as the inactive glucuronide within 24
hours
- PTU is given every 6 -10 hours with a single 100 mg dose
- PTU crosses the placental barrier less readily and concentrated
by fetal thyroid
- It is more strongly protein – bound
- It is not secreted in sufficient quantity in breast milk to
preclude breast - feeding
METHIMAZOLE
- Completely absorbed but at variable rates
- Volume of distribution is similar to PTU
- Half-life is 6 hours
- Excretion is slower than PTU ; 65,70 % of dose
is recovered in the urine in 48 hours
- Methimazole is given in 24 hours with a single
30 mg dose
- Methimazole crosses the placental barrier and
consentrated by fetal thyroid
PHARMACODYNAMICS OF THIOAMIDES
- Prevent hormone synthesis by inhibiting the
thyroid peroxidase – catalysed reactions
- Blocking iodine organification
- Thioamides block coupling of the
iodotyrosines
- Thioamides do not inhibit uptake of iodine
by the gland
- PTU & methimazole inhibit the peripheral
deiodination of T4 and T3
Toxicity of Thioamides
Adverse effect of thioamides are :
- Maculopapular pruritic rash »
- Fever
- Urticarial rash
- Vasculitis
- Arthralgia
- A lupus-like reaction
- Cholestatic jaundice
- Hepatitis
- Lymphadenopathy
- Hypoprothrombinemia
- Exfoliative dermatitis
- Polyserositis
Complication of Thioamides
Agranulocytosis
 Infrequent but potentially fatal adverse
reaction
 Occurs in 0,3 – 0,6 % of patient
 The risk of agranuloagtosis may be
increased in older patient and in those
receiving high – dose methimazole
therapy (over 40 mg/d)
2. Anion Inhibitors
 Consist of monovalent anions such as :
 Perclorate (ClO4-)
 Pertechnetate (Tc04-)
 Thiocyanate ( SCN-)
 This agents block uptake of iodide by the gland through
competitive inhibition of the iodide transport
mechanism
 The major clinical use of potassium perchlorate is to block
thyroidal reuptake of I- in patient with iodide induced
hyperthyroidism
 Side effect of potassuim perchlorate is aplastic anemia
3. Iodides
 Rarely used as sole therapy
 Pharmacodynamics
 Inhibit organification and hormone release
 Decrease the size and vascularity of the hyperplastic
gland  valuable as preoperative preparation for
surgery
 Dosage > 6 mg daily  inhibit hormon release ;
inhibit thyroglobulin proteolysis
 Clinical use of Iodide
 Iodides are used after onset of Thioamide therapy
 Iodides should not be used alone  its withdrawal
may produce severe
exacerbation of
tyrotoxicosis
 Iodides cross the placental barrier and can cause
fetal goiter
Side effect :  acneiform rash,
 swollen salivary gland
 mucous membrane ulcerations
 conjunctivitis
 rhinorrhea
 drug fever
 bleeding disorders
 rarely anaphylactoid reactions
