3,3',5,5'-Tetraiodo-L-thyronine sodium hydrate
3,3',5,5'-Tetraiodo-L-thyronine sodium hydrate is a synthetic thyroid hormone that is used to treat hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. It is also used as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals. 3,3',5,5'-Tetraiodo-L-thyronine sodium hydrate has been shown to be effective in the treatment of hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. The drug exhibits a high degree of bioequivalence with levothyroxine sodium tablets.
MRP2/ABCG2 transport proteins are expressed at high levels in the liver and gut epithelium and play a role in the absorption of 3,3',5,5'-tetraiodo-L-thyronine sodium hydrate from the small intestine into blood circulation. This drug binds to sorbitol and d-mannitol through hydrogen bonding interactions. These interactions may be responsible for
