L-thyroxine sodium salt

Description:
L-thyroxine sodium salt, with the CAS number 6106-07-6, is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. This compound is primarily used in the treatment of hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. L-thyroxine sodium salt functions by increasing the metabolic rate, influencing protein synthesis, and regulating various physiological processes, including growth and development. Its chemical structure includes a phenolic ring and an amino acid residue, which contribute to its biological activity. The substance is typically administered orally and is known for its stability under normal storage conditions. However, it should be stored away from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy. As with any medication, it is important to monitor dosage and potential side effects, which may include cardiovascular issues or alterations in metabolic processes.
