Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Noncompetitively Inhibit MCT8-Mediated Iodothyronine Transport

Abstract

Partial inhibition by TKI of pituitary or hypothalamic TH feedback may increase TSH or increase the levothyroxine requirement of thyroidectomized patients. It is still possible that other mechanisms contribute to TKI-mediated impairments of TFT, e.g. altered metabolism of TH. Bosutinib was not previously reported to alter TFT.
