L-Thyroxine (CAS: 51-48-9) or Levothyroxine is a synthetic thyroid hormonethat is chemically identical to thyroxine (T4), which is naturally secreted by the follicular cells of the thyroid gland. It is used to treatthyroid hormone deficiency, and occasionally to prevent the recurrence of thyroid cancer. Like its naturally secreted counterpart, Levothyroxine is a chiral compound in the L-form. The related drug dextrothyroxine (D-Thyroxine) was used in the past as a treatment for hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels) but was withdrawn due to cardiac side effects. L-Thyroxine is mainly used for the treatment of hypothyroidism, goiter, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, myxedema coma, and stupor. In vivo, L-Thyroxine (0.9 and 2.7 μg) inhibits synthesis and release of thyrotropin induced by thyrotropin-releasing hormone from the anterior pituitary in mice. Formulations containing L-Thyroxine have been used in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine therapy is used in case of deficiency of the thyroid hormones in the human organism, as it happens under deficiency of thyroid, pituitary and hypothalamic glands (respectively primary, secondary and tertiary hypothyroidism). L-Thyroxine is also used in the treatment of euthyroid goiter and multinodular goiter, including thyroid nodules, subacute or chronic thyroiditis, or in the case of a post-surgical deficit, or after radiometabolic treatment in patients with thyroid cancer. Effects of this drug depend heavily on dosage. In small doses, L-Thyroxine exhibits anabolic action. In medium doses, it stimulates growth and development of tissue, metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates, increases functional activity of central nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as kidneys and liver. In large doses, it slows the thyrotropic activity of the hypophysis and suppresses thyroid gland production.
