In experiments on rats, we studied the effect of 5-day intraperitoneal (15 mg/kg/day) and oral (40 mg/kg/day) administration of compound TPY3m, a stimulator of the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland developed by us, on the blood levels of thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone and on morphology of the thyroid gland. With both routes of administration, TPY3m caused a sustained moderate elevation of thyroid hormones, mainly thyroxine, with little effect on the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone. TPY3m did not reduce the stimulating effect of thyroliberin on the levels of thyroid hormones and had no damaging effect on the thyroid gland. During long-term administration, compound TPY3m stimulates the production of thyroid hormones without weakening the activity of the thyroid axis. Thus, TPY3m is a prototype of drugs for correcting thyroid hormone deficiency.
