| [Potential Exposure]
Medication (antihyperthyroid; thyroid
inhibitor) with human and veterinary applications. | [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however 6-N-PROPYL-2-THIOURACIL is probably combustible. | [First aid]
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency
medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respira-
tion with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and
isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with run-
ning water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact,
avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim
warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion
or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved
and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical obser-
vation is recommended for 24?48 hours after breathing
overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As
first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized
paramedic may consider administering a drug or other
inhalation therapy. | [Shipping]

This chemical is probably combustible;
it’s dust may form explosive mixture with air. Incompatible
with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanga-
nates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); con-
tact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from
alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids,
epoxides. Forms complexes with divalent metals. Reacts

may be sensitive to air. | [Description]
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a thioamide antithyroid agent.1 It inhibits thyroid peroxidase activity in rat and monkey thyroid microsomes (IC50s = 0.081 and 4.1 μM, respectively). PTU (30 mg/kg) increases thyroid weight and serum thyroid stimulating hormone levels and decreases serum 3,5,3''-triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels in rats. Sensitivity to the bitter taste of PTU is genetically mediated and is associated with increased sensitivity to other sweet and bitter compounds.2 Formulations containing propylthiouracil have been used in the treatment of Graves'' disease and hyperthyroidism. | [Chemical Properties]
White Crystalline Powder | [Chemical Properties]
White crystalline solid or powder. Odorless.
Bitter taste. | [Waste Disposal]
It is inappropriate and possi-
bly dangerous to the environment to dispose of expired
or waste pharmaceuticals by flushing them down the toilet
or discarding to trash. Household quantities of expired or
waste pharmaceuticals may be mixed with wet cat litter or
coffee grounds, double-bagged in plastic, discard in trash.
Larger quantities shall carefully take into consideration
applicable DEA, EPA, and FDA regulations. If possible
return the pharmaceutical to the manufacturer for proper
disposal being careful to properly label and securely pack-
age the material. Alternatively, the waste pharmaceutical
shall be labeled, securely packaged and transported by
a state licensed medical waste contractor to dispose by burial in a licensed hazardous or toxic waste landfill or
incinerator. | [Uses]

Antihyperthyroid. Has been used to promote fattening. This substance is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen | [Definition]
ChEBI: A pyrimidinethione consisting of uracil in which the 2-oxo group is substituted by a thio group and the hydrogen at position 6 is substituted by a propyl group. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
6-Propyl-2-thiouracil (6-PTU), a potential inhibitor of D1 iodothyronine deiodinase, is involved in the deiodination of iodothyronines. It is an uncompetitive inhibitor of iodothyronine substrates. | [Mechanism of action]
This drug has a pronounced thyrostatic effect and causes reduced thyroxine synthesis in
the thyroid gland. It inhibits the process of iodination of thyroglobulin, reduces formation
of the active form of iodine in the thyroid gland, and blocks the peroxidase system.
Propylthiouracil is used for hyperthyrosis, thyrotoxic crises, and on thyrodectomia.
Synonyms of this drug are propycil and tireostat. | [Clinical Use]
Propylthiouracil is useful in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.There is a delay in appearance of its effects because propylthiouracildoes not interfere with the activity of thyroid hormonesalready formed and stored in the thyroid gland. Thislag period may vary from several days to weeks, dependingon the condition of the patient. The need for three equallyspaced doses during a 24-hour period is often stressed, butevidence now indicates that a single daily dose is as effectiveas multiple daily doses in the treatment of most hyperthyroidpatients. | [Synthesis]
Propylthiouracil, 6-propyl-2-thio-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidindione (25.2.2),
is synthesized by condensating ethyl butyroacetate with thiourea in the presence of sodium
ethoxide.
| [Drug interactions]
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
None known | [Carcinogenicity]
Propylthiouracil is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenbased on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals. | [Metabolism]
Propylthiouracil undergoes rapid first-pass metabolism
in the liver, and is mainly excreted in the urine as the
glucuronic acid conjugate, with very little excreted as
unchanged drug. | [Purification Methods]
Purify propacil by recrystallisation from H2O (soluble in 900 parts at 20o, and 100 parts at 100o). UV, MeOH: max 277nm. [Anderson et al. J Am Chem Soc 67 2197 1945, Vanderhaegue Bull Soc Chim Belg 59 689 1950, Beilstein 24 III/IV 1333.] |
