This document discusses thyroid hormones and antithyroid drugs. It begins by classifying hormones into different categories including thyroid hormones. It then describes the thyroid gland, its location and composition. The two principal thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine, are discussed along with their roles in metabolism and organ functioning. The biosynthesis and metabolism of thyroid hormones is explained involving thyroid stimulating hormones. Different classes of antithyroid drugs are then outlined, including thiomides, aniline derivatives, polyhydric phenols, and ionic inhibitors, describing their mechanisms of action in inhibiting thyroid hormone synthesis.
