| ln Vitro |
d-Thyroxine (d-T4) is a by-product in the synthesis of l-T4 and is not active in the thyroid.
Dihydroxycoumarin's pharmacological actions are also influenced by D-thyroxine sodium [2].
D-thyroxine is the D-enantiomer of thyroxine. It is a thyroxine and a D-tyrosine derivative. It is an enantiomer of a L-thyroxine. The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (monoiodotyrosine) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (diiodotyrosine) in the thyroglobulin. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form triiodothyronine which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism. Dextrothyroxine is the dextrorotary isomer of thyroxine, a thyroid hormone with antihyperlipidemic activity. Dextrothyroxine stimulates the formation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and increases the catabolism of LDL thereby leading to increased excretion of cholesterol and bile acids via the biliary route. This results in a reduction in serum cholesterol and LDL. |
| ln Vivo |
D-thyroxine sodium decreases the metabolism of pentobarbital, pethidine, and dihydroxycoumarin in mice [1].

| Enzyme Assay |
Amperometric biosensor for the assay of d-T4[2]
Paraffin oil and graphite powder were mixed in a ratio 1:4 (w/w) to form a graphite paste. Hundred microliters from the enzymatic solution (1 mg enzyme ml−1 of 0.1 mol l−1 phosphate buffer, pH 7.0) of l-amino acid oxidase (l-AAOD) (EC 1.4.3.2, Type I: crude dried venom from Crotalus adamanteus) were added to the carbon paste. A plastic tip was filled with the corresponding graphite–paraffin oil paste leaving an empty space of 3–4 mm in the top part filled with carbon paste containing the enzyme. The diameter of the sensor was 3 mm. Electric contact was obtained by inserting a silver wire into the carbon paste. The electrode tip was gently rubbed on fine paper to produce a flat surface. The surface of the electrode was wetted with de-ionized water and then polished with an alumina paper (polished strips 30144-001) before use. The biosensors were stored dry at 4 °C. |
| Animal Protocol |
In mice, D-thyroxine inhibits the metabolism of bishydroxycoumarin as well as that of meperidine and pentobarbital; in man, the anticoagulant response to bishydroxycoumarin is increased at doses which do not change the rate of metabolism of the drug. Clofibrate does not affect bishydroxycoumarin metabolism in mice or in man but does increase the anticoagulant response to the drug in man. Norethandrolone also increases the anticoagulant response to bishydroxycoumarin in man without affecting the rate of metabolism of the drug. Since clinically effective doses of these three drugs do not decrease the concentration of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors or affect the absorption, distribution, or metabolism of bishydroxycoumarin in man, it seems likely that they potentiate the pharmacologic effect of bishydroxycoumarin by increasing the affinity of the receptor site for the anticoagulant [1].

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Lactation Use Thyroid is an animal-derived compound composed of levothyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), both of which are normal components of human breast milk. Data on exogenous levothyroxine supplementation during lactation are limited, but no adverse effects on infants have been found. If the mother needs to take thyroid hormone, breastfeeding should not be discontinued. The American Thyroid Association recommends that breastfeeding women planning to breastfeed should use levothyroxine to treat subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism. Patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis may require an increased dose of thyroid hormone postpartum compared to their pre-pregnancy levels. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants There are no reports on the effects of maternal use of exogenous thyroid hormones on their infants. There have been reports that breastfeeding appears to reduce cretinism symptoms in infants with hypothyroidism, but the thyroid hormone content in breast milk is not ideal, so this result is controversial. The levels of thyroid hormones in the breast milk of mothers of extremely premature infants appear insufficient to affect the infant's thyroid function. The levels of thyroid hormones in breast milk are clearly insufficient to interfere with the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. In a telephone follow-up study, five breastfeeding mothers reported taking levothyroxine (dosage not specified). These mothers reported no adverse reactions in their infants. One mother who had undergone thyroidectomy took 100 micrograms of levothyroxine daily, along with calcium carbonate and calcitriol. Her breastfed infant was reported to be "growing well" at 3 months of age. ◉ Effects on lactation and breast milk: Adequate serum thyroid hormone levels are necessary for normal lactation. Thyroid hormone supplementation can improve insufficient lactation caused by hypothyroidism. Supraphysiological doses are not expected to further improve lactation. |
