Biological Activity

Description Levothyroxine (L-Thyroxine) sodium is the major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. It is the agonist of Thyroid hormone receptor alpha and beta.
In vitro
In vitro Levothyroxine can upregulate the expression of P-gp mRNA and protein in LS180 cells and can produce the same effect in Caco-2 cells, which are relatively lacking in PXR. It doea not affect the expression of CYP3A4 in either cell line[1].
Cell Research Cell lines LS180V cells
Concentrations 100 nM and 100 μM
Incubation Time 72 h
Method LS180V cells are induced for 72 h with two different concentrations of l-T4: 100 nM and 100 μM.
In Vivo
In vivo Levothyroxine is a synthetic T4 hormone that is biochemically and physiologically indistinguishable from the natural one, and it is administered when the body is deficient in the natural hormone. Its nain site of absorption is small intestine, more specifically through the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. Very little is absorbed in the stomach. The bioavailability is about 70-80 % in euthyroid person and may be slightly higher in hyperthyroid patients. The absorption of levothyroxine appears to be influenced by gastric pH. Tmax=2-3 hours and the half-time T1/2 is 6.2 and 7.5 days in euthyroid and hypothyroid patients, respectively[3]. T4 hormones is known to modulate the expression of ionic channels, pumps and regulatory contractile proteins. T4-treatment induces a dose-dependent increase in the duration of contractions. Abnormal uterine contractile pattern are induced by T4-treatment[2].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
