Methimazole Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Methimazole is a thiourea antithyroid agent that prevents iodine organification, thus inhibiting the synthesis of thyroxine. Antihyperthyroid

General Description

Methimazole, 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol (Tapazole), occurs as a white to off-white, crystallinepowder with a characteristic odor and is freely soluble inwater. A 2% aqueous solution has a pH of 6.7 to 6.9. It shouldbe packaged in well-closed, light-resistant containers.

Clinical Use

Methimazole is indicated in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.It is more potent than propylthiouracil. The side effectsare similar to those of propylthiouracil. As with otherantithyroid drugs, patients using this drug should be undermedical supervision. Also, like the other antithyroid drugs,methimazole is most effective if the total daily dose is subdividedand given at 8-hour intervals.

Safety Profile

Poison by subcutaneous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Human teratogenic effects. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic data. Human mutation data reported. An antithyroid drug. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and SOx. See also MERCAPTANS.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from EtOH. UV: at 251nm (H2O), 260nm (EtOH) and 267nm (CHCl3). [Lawson max & Morley J Chem Soc 1103 1956, Beilstein 24 H 17, 24 III/IV 61.]
