Thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) THYROID DRUGS
Slide 3-

T3 and T4 are synthesized in the thyroid gland. Inorganic iodine is trapped with great avidity by the gland, oxidized and attached to tyro- sine. Combination of mono- and/or- di-iodinated tyrosine forms T3 and T4. The thyroxine peroxidase is im- portant both in the initial oxidation and the final combination steps.

T4 = L-Thyroxine
Slide 8-

Synthesis and release of T3 and T4 are controlled by the anterior pitu- itary hormone, thyrotrophin (TSH - thyroid-stimulating hormone). Its secretion is controlled by the hypo- thalamic thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) and somatostatin. Circulating T3 and T4 exert a nega- tive feedback on the TSH and TRH.

Circulating thyroid hormones are highly protein-bound to TBG (thyroxine-binding globulin). Less than 0.1% from T4 is free. Only the free fraction can bind to specific cell receptors.
Slide 14-

Plasma T4: 95% T3: 5% Thyroxine-binding globulin 99.91–99.97%

AGENTS INLFUENCING PROTEIN- BINDING OF L-THYROXINE (T4) INCREASE estrogens methadone heroin clofibrate tamoxifen DECREASE glucocorticoids aspirin phenytoin carbamazepine furosemide
Slide 16-

T3 is much more biologically active than T4. The plasma half-life of T3 is 36 h. T4 has t1/2 168 h. After entering into cells T4 converts into T3 which binds to receptor protein and inte- racts with DNA in the cell nucleus, causing the synthesis of new messen- ger RNA and hence of new proteins.
Slide 17-

The main effects of T3 and T4: Stimulating of metabolism (which results in a raised basal metabolic rate). Promotion of normal growth and maturation, particularly of the CNS, and skeleton. Sensitization to the effects of catecholamines (DA, NA, Adrenaline).

Intracellular (nuclear) steroid/thyroid receptors Effector Coupling Time scale Examples gene transcription via DNA hours steroid receptors thyroid receptors vitamin D receptors

Directly at nuclear receptors: Thyroid hormones (T3, T4) T3 or T4 penetrates the nucleus Combines with their receptors Alters DNA-RNA mediated protein synthesis

T3&T4 – indications: hypothyroidism T3 is reserved for patients with myxoedemic coma.

They are used to treat hyperthyroidism. Thioureas agents Beta-blockers Radioactive iodine (131I) ANTITHYROID DRUGS
Slide 26-

Thiourea agents inhibit thyroxine peroxidase, and therefore the synthesis of T3 and T4. Because of the long half-life of T4, changes in the rate synthesis takes several weeks to lower circu- lating concentrations to normal.

Propylthiouracil Thiamazole – tabl. 5 mg Carbimazole (prodrug) Thiamazole (Methimazole – USAN)
Slide 28-

Thioureas – adverse effects Agranulocytosis Nausea, taste disturbance Placental transfer and secretion in breast milk can produce neo- natal hypothyroidism (small doses are probably safe).
Slide 29-

Beta-blockers have imme- diate symptomatic effect on palpitation and tremor but do not alter the rate of T3 & T4 synthesis. 131I (t1/2 8 days) is used to treat multinodular toxic goiters. It is taken up by the abnormal tissue.
