Propylthiouracil (CAS: 51-52-5), is a thioamide antithyroid agent, a potential inhibitor of D1 iodothyronine deiodinase, is involved in the deiodination of iodothyronines. It is an uncompetitive inhibitor of iodothyronine substrates. This drug has a pronounced thyrostatic effect and causes reduced thyroxine synthesis in the thyroid gland. It inhibits the process of iodination of thyroglobulin, reduces formation of the active form of iodine in the thyroid gland, and blocks the peroxidase system. Propylthiouracil is used for hyperthyrosis, thyrotoxic crises, and on thyrodectomia. Propylthiouracil is useful in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.
