propranolol
in high doses can inhibit T4 to T3 conversion
competitive anions
interfere with the trapping and concentraion of iodid (I-): Thiocyanate (SCN-) and percholate (ClO4-_
dexamethasone
in large doses reduces the conversion of T4 to T3 and inhibits hormone release
thisocyanate
(SCN-) like other competitive anions not good for clinical use, toxic, produced following hyrdolysis of certain plant glycosides (cabbage and cigarret smoking; may contribue to endemic gointer where iodine in take is very lwow
percholate
may cause fatal aplastic anemia, used only in unusual circumstances; can be used to "discharge inorganic iodide in diagnostic test; fluoroboroate (BF4-) as effective as percholate
where does high I- act in thyroid hormone
(-) iodide transport into follicle cell and (-) secretion of T3 and T4
where do thionamide drugs act
on peroxidase (iodide to Iodine I- to I) and on peroxidase coupling reaction
thionamide drugs are orally ____
active
principal site of thionamide action
second stage of hormonogenesis; drugs are concentrated in thyroid (- peroxidse and coupling reaction)
Propylthiouracil
inhibits peroxidase previndting iodotyrosyl groups in thryoglobule (coupling) and organification; also interfires with peripheral 5' deiodinase conversion of T4 to T3
drug of choice in thyroid storm
propylthiouracil
methimazol
longer acting an dmore potent than propylthiolouracil
Indications for thionamide drugs
prpylthiouracil: sole tx of hyperthryoidism although lasting remission in graves is uncommon; in combindation with subtotal thyroidectomy; temporarily AFTER the administartion of therapeutic amounts of radioactive iodine to interfere with I131 incorporation into thyroglobulin and concentraiton in thryoid.... in olderpts bother by hyperhtryoid relation treomors use prpylthiouracil before I 131
prphylactic use of stable Iodine
prevents endemic goiter and hypothyroidism
paradoxical effects of iodine (stable)
maintains T4/T3 synthesis but can cause hyperthryoidism or inhibit T4/T3 depending on the does
use to decrease vasculatrity of hyperhtryoid gland
Iodine
radioactive sodium iodide
acts almost exclusively on the follicluar parenchymal cells (pynknosis and necrosis) can destroy gland w/o damage to surrounding tissue
"hot" nodule on I 131
plummer's syndrome, treat with I 131 the overactive nodule contributes to thyrotoxicosis
a "cold" nodule on I131
in the overactive thryoid in graves suggest surgical tx b/c of the possibility that the node may be malignant
tx exoptalmos
nada, responds poorly
levothryoxine
drug of choice for hypothyroidism, a pure syntheitic hormone, T4 SYNTHROID
lithyronine
T3 CYTOMEL rapid onset of action
liotrix
euthroid: a physiological 4:1 mix of T4: T3
TBG has increased affinity for thyroxin ni
estrogines, methadone, clofibrate, heroi, tamoxife, 5-fluoruracil
estrogen TBG
increases TBG and total T4/T3 however drop in T4/# until TSH level in crease and increase T4/T3
androgens and TBG
reduce TBG levels and toral serum T4/T3
cholestyramine
bile acid sequestrant that lowers LDL cholesterol due to cholesterol converions to bile acid BINDA AN DINHIBITS INTESTINTAL ABSORPTION OF THYROID HORMONE
digoxin and thryoxine
thryoxine incerases volume distribution and relnal clearanceof digoxin and can cause variable decreases in digoxin blood levels
