Application


  • Nephrotoxicity Studies in Renal Cells: Methimazole Related Compound C was used in a study to explore the role of biotransformation and oxidative stress in 3,5-dichloroaniline-induced nephrotoxicity. This research provides insights into the cellular mechanisms affected by Methimazole and its related compounds(Racine et al., 2016).


  • Phenytoin Teratogenicity Research: Investigations into the bioactivation of phenytoin, involving lipoxygenase-catalyzed reactions that may be relevant to Methimazole Related Compound C, provide critical data on the enzymatic pathways that contribute to drug-induced teratogenic effects. This research assists in the development of safer pharmaceuticals by identifying hazardous metabolites (Yu and Wells, 1995).


  • Enzyme Inhibition Studies: The impact of thionamides and related compounds on enzyme activities was studied, highlighting how Methimazole Related Compound C affects important metabolic enzymes like trimethylamine oxidase. This is essential for developing medications that minimize adverse effects on metabolic processes (Pearson et al., 1982).
