EIGHTY-ONE MICE OF 3 INBRED STRAINS (A, C57 & I) WERE ADMIN 0.1% THIOURACIL (TU) IN COMMERCIAL DIET FOR PERIODS OF UP TO 80 WK. IN 69 MICE EXAM, THYROIDAL FOLLICULAR CYSTS...FOUND & INTERPRETED BY AUTHORS AS NON-MALIGNANT LESIONS, SINCE THEY REGRESSED FOLLOWING WITHDRAWAL OF THIOURACIL...

OF 52 C STRAIN MICE (40 MALES & 12 FEMALES) ADMIN 0.37% THIOURACIL IN DIET FOR 6 MO FOLLOWED BY 0.5% FOR LIFE, LAST ANIMAL DIED @ 116 WK, & NODULAR HYPERPLASIS OF THYROID OCCURRED IN 28/39 MICE SURVIVING LONGER THAN 10 MO...

Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of thiouracil. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of thiouracil. Overall evaluation: Thiouracil is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).

EARLIEST SIGN OF HYPOTHYROIDISM CALL FOR REDN IN DOSE; IF BY CHANCE THEY HAVE ADVANCED TO POINT OF DISCOMFORT, THYROID HORMONE CAN BE GIVEN TO HASTEN RECOVERY. FULL DOSE OF 120-180 MG DAILY OF THYROID OR EQUIV OF TYHROXINE OR TRIIODOTHYRONINE FOR WK WILL USUALLY SUFFICE. /ANTI-THYROID DRUGS/

ANTITHYROID DRUGS INHIBIT FORMATION OF THYROID HORMONE LARGELY BY INTERFERING WITH INCORPORATION OF IODINE INTO ORGANIC FORM. THIS IMPLIES THAT THEY INTERFERE WITH OXIDN OF IODIDE ION, BUT ELUCIDATION OF DETAILED MECHANISM... HAMPERED BY INCOMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF IODIDE-OXIDIZING SYSTEM OF...GLAND. /ANTITHYROID DRUGS/

THIOAMIDE DERIV DO NOT HAVE PERMANENT EFFECT UPON THYROID GLAND BUT INHIBIT HORMONE SYNTHESIS & SECRETION UNTIL SPONTANEOUS REMISSION OCCURS DURING COURSE OF DISEASE. /THIOAMIDE DERIV/

IN HOMOGENIZED RAT LIVER PREPN FROM FEMALE HOLTZMAN RATS, 28-35% OF THIOURACIL WAS METABOLIZED WITHIN 3 HR. PATHWAY FOR BREAKDOWN OF THIOURACIL WAS SUGGESTED TO BE AS FOLLOWS: URACIL; BETA-UREIDOPROPIONIC ACID, WHICH WAS FURTHER METABOLIZED TO BETA-ALANINE; AMMONIA & CARBON DIOXIDE...

Agents that are used to treat hyperthyroidism by reducing the excessive production of thyroid hormones.

/IN RATS/ ACCUMULATION OF (35)S LABEL WAS FASTER & OCCURRED TO GREATER EXTENT FROM SMALLER DOSE, SUGGESTING PRESENCE OF SATURABLE TRANSPORT MECHANISM. SIMILAR STUDIES WITH (14)C-THIOURACIL HAVE SHOWN ACCUM OF RADIOACTIVITY IN BOTH MATERNAL & FETAL THYROID TISSUES OF RABBITS...

...WITH BOTH LARGE (39 UMOL) & SMALL (1.2 UMOL) DOSES OF (35)S-THIOURACIL, CONSIDERABLE ACCUM OF BOTH TOTAL RADIOACTIVITY & UNMETABOLIZED (35)S-THIOURACIL OCCURS IN THYROID TISSUE RELATIVE TO PLASMA /IN RATS/.

THIOURACIL IS ABSORBED FROM GI TRACT IN RATS... IN RATS ADMIN 5 MG BY IV INJECTION, 30% OF THIOURACIL...RECOVERED FROM CARCASSES AFTER 3 HR & ONLY TRACES AFTER 24 HR.
