Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Methimazole-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of methimazole by GC- or LC-MS. Methimazole is an inhibitor of thyroid hormone synthesis. It is a substrate for thyroid peroxidase that traps oxidized iodide, preventing its use by thyroglobulin for thyroid hormone synthesis. Methimazole (0.4 mg/kg) inhibits the absorption of radiolabeled iodide by the thyroid gland in rats by 80.9%. It reduces the incidence of lymphocytic thyroiditis in the insulin-dependent type 1 diabetic BB/W rat.4 Methimazole has been used to induce hypothyroidism in mice.5,6 Formulations containing methimazole have been used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Product Data
Biological target:
Methimazole-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of methimazole by GC- or LC-MS. Methimazole is an inhibitor of thyroid hormone synthesis.
In vitro activity:
This study attempted to investigate the cytotoxic mechanism(s) of methimazole toward isolated rat hepatocytes. Methimazole-induced cytotoxicity was accompanied by collapse in MMP, increase in ROS formation, and LPO. Further, methimazole caused reduction in GSH reservoirs, and the cytotoxic effect of the drug was much more severe in GSH-depleted cells. Reference: Drug Chem Toxicol. 2013 Oct;36(4):403-11. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23256569/
In vivo activity:
The aim of the study was to determine effects of long-term oral methimazole treatment in male Wistar rats on biochemical bone metabolism markers, as well as morphological, geometric, densitometric and mechanical properties of femur and tibia. Methimazole treatment significantly decreased serum OC concentration by 21% (P=0.02) and increased CTX-I concentration by 17% (P=0.06). Methimazole decreased morphological, geometric and densitometric parameters of femur and tibia in rats. Reference: Biomed Pharmacother. 2017 Oct;94:124-128. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28759749/
