Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
RESPONSE TO IODIDE IN HYPERTHYROIDISM: /IN THYROID GLAND/...VASCULARITY IS REDUCED, GLAND BECOMES MUCH FIRMER & EVEN HARD TO THE TOUCH, CELLS BECOME SMALLER, COLLOID REACCUMULATES IN FOLLICLES, & QUANTITY OF BOUND IODINE INCREASES. /IODIDES/
HIGH CONCN OF IODIDE APPEAR TO INFLUENCE ALL IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF IODINE METABOLISM BY THE THYROID GLAND. CAPACITY OF IODIDE TO LIMIT ITS OWN TRANSPORT... ACUTE INHIBITION OF SYNTHESIS OF IODOTYROSINE & IODOTHYRONINE BY IODIDE IS ALSO WELL KNOWN (THE WOLFF-CHAIKOFF EFFECT)... /IODIDES/
THIS INHIBITION /WOLFF-CHAIKOFF EFFECT/ IS OBSERVED ONLY ABOVE CRITICAL CONCN OF IODIDE, & THE INTRACELLULAR...CONCN OF ANION APPEARS TO BE MAJOR DETERMINANT. WITH TIME THERE IS "ESCAPE" FOR THIS INHIBITION...ASSOCIATED WITH AN ADAPTIVE DECR IN IODIDE TRANSPORT & LOWERED INTRACELLULAR IODIDE CONCN. /IODIDES/
THE MOST IMPORTANT CLINICAL EFFECT OF HIGH IODIDE CONCN IS AN INHIBITION OF THE RELEASE OF THYROID HORMONE. THIS ACTION IS RAPID & EFFICACIOUS IN SEVERE THYROTOXICOSIS. THE EFFECT IS EXERTED DIRECTLY ON THE THYROID GLAND, & IT CAN BE DEMONSTRATED IN EUTHYROID SUBJECT & EXPTL ANIMALS AS WELL AS IN HYPERTHYROID PT. /IODIDES/
IODIDE ANTAGONIZES THE ABILITY OF BOTH THYROTROPIN & CYCLIC AMP TO STIMULATE ENDOCYTOSIS OF COLLOID, PROTEOLYSIS, & HORMONE SECRETION. /REPORTEDLY/... IODIDE ATTENUATES THE EFFECT OF TSH ON CYCLIC AMP IN VIVO & IN ISOLATED TISSUES. /IODIDES/
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Iodide salts are readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
Iodides are expected to be renal excreted.
Iodides are distributed widely throughout extracellular fluid of thyroid gland.

Applications
UsesSodium iodide is widely used for halide exchange (Finkelstein reaction), for example in the conversion of an alkyl chloride, allyl chloride and arylmethyl chloride into their respective iodides, which are precursors for pharmaceutical and fine chemical products. They are used to ehnance the efficiency of the formation of Wittig adducts from less reactive chlorides and bromides. Appropriate prepartions find use as a nutrient supplement. Sodium iodide is used as the precursor to the control agent in ab initio emulsion polymerization. Sodium iodide finds use in the determination of dissolved oxygen in the modified Winkler method, synthesis of the fluorescent dye coppersensor-1 (CS1) for imaging labile copper pools in biological samples, and the cleavage of esters, lactones, carbamates and ethers in combination with chlorotrimethylsilane.
General DescriptionSodium iodide is an inorganic salt. Mixture of chlorotrimethylsilane/sodium iodide in acetonitrile is a useful reagent for the cleavage of esters, lactones, carbamates and ethers.
Preparation methods
PreparationSodium iodide is prepared by adding hydriodic acid or an acidic iodide solution to a solution of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, followed by evaporation and crystallization: NaOH + HI → NaI + H2OThe solution is filtered to remove any impurities prior to its evaporation and crystallization.

Additional notes
Definitionsodium iodide: A white crystallinesolid, NaI, very soluble in water andsoluble in both ethanol and ethanoicacid. It is known in both the anhydrousform (cubic; r.d. 3.67; m.p.661°C; b.p. 1304°C) and as the dihydrate(monoclinic; r.d. 2.45). It is preparedby the reaction of hydrogeniodide with sodium carbonate orsodium hydroxide in solution. Likepotassium iodide, sodium iodide inaqueous solution dissolves iodine toform a brown solution containingthe I3- ion. It finds applications inphotography and is also used in medicineas an expectorant and in the administrationof radioactive iodine for studies of thyroid function and fortreatment of diseases of the thyroid.
DefinitionChEBI: Sodium iodide is a metal iodide salt with a Na(+) counterion. It is an inorganic sodium salt and an iodide salt.
