General description

Methimazole belongs to the chemical class of thioureylene compounds, used as an anti-thyroid drug in the management of hyperthyroidism.

Application

Beclomethasone dipropionate analytical standard can be used as follows:

  • Silver/graphene-modified carbon-paste electrode (AgGCPE) based electrochemical determination of methimazole
  • Development of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based method to estimate propylthiouracil and methimazole using sodium alginate-protected silver nanoparticles as SERS substrate
  • Detection of methimazole at ultra-trace limits using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) substrate
  • Quantitative analysis of human blood samples for methimazole using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (HPLC-MS/MS) method
  • Electrochemical determination of methimazole in pharmaceutical tablet and human blood serum samples by molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)- pencil graphite electrode (PGE) based sensor

Antithyroid medications are the preferred therapy for the treatment of Graves' disease during pregnancy. Propylthiouracil (PTU) is favored over methimazole (MMI) due to potential teratogenic concerns with MMI. This study was to determine the teratogenic potential of MMI and PTU
