antithyroid agent

Carbimazole (Athyromazole) is an Imidazolium thyroid antagonist, which is rapidly transformed into MMI in vivo and can be converted into methidazole in vitro, and can be used in the study of Graves' disease.

1-Methyl-2-(methylthio)imidazole is an impurity of Methimazole and a thiourea antithyroid agent.

Methylthiouracil is a thiourea-class antithyroid agent that inhibits the synthesis of thyroid hormones and is commonly used to treat hyperthyroidism. Studies have shown that Methylthiouracil can also suppress the production of TNF-α and IL-6, as well as inhibit the activation of NF-κB and ERK1/2. It can be used to induce hyperlipidemia and neurological disorder models.
