The effects of L-T3 (3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine) and three novel analogues, SKF L-94901 (3,5-Dibromo-3'-pyridazinone-L-thyronine), Dibit (3,5-Dibromo-3'-isopropyl-L-thyronine), and 3'-Ac-T2(3'-Acetyl-3,5,-Diiodo-L-thyronine), on mitochondrial parameters were determined in hypothyroid rats. The parameters include the 24 hour hormone-induced changes in the bc1 complex and in the proton permeability of the mitochondrial inner membrane. The cardiac sparing analogue, SKF L-94901, had no effect on mitochondrial respiration or proton permeability; but the analogue did increase a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity, mitochondrial ubiquinone content, and altered the bypass respiration in the bc1 complex. Dibit also did not increase respiration significantly but did change the other parameters. 3'-Ac-T2 increased respiration, mitochondrial ubiquinone content, proton permeability, enzyme activity and altered the bypass of the Antimycin A blockage in the bc1 complex.

The mechanism of action of thyroid hormones on bone is still not clear. At low concentrations, they stimulate bone formation; at high concentrations, they elicit bone resorption in vitro and in vivo. In the present study we investigated the effect of T3 and T4 as well as their active and inactive analogs (TRIAC, SKF L-94901, rT3, and DIT) on the IGF-I and TNF-alpha content in the medium of UMR-106 rat osteoblastic cells and fetal rat limb bones.

In summary, hyperthyroidism increased the rate of glycolysis and decreased glycogen synthesis in isolated incubated rat soleus muscle preparations. SKF 901 also increased glycolysis, but the stimulation was 5-fold less than in T3-treated muscles. Hyperthyroidism increased the rate of glutamine release from skeletal muscle, but SKF 901 did not affect glutamine metabolism.

1. We studied a brominated thyroid hormone analogue, SKF L-94901, which has the potential to lower serum cholesterol without adverse cardiovascular effects. This compound is about 50% as active as tri-iodothyronine (T3) in liver nuclear receptor binding in vivo but only 1% as active in vitro and has nearly 200 times more enzyme-inducing activity in liver than in heart.
