Thirty eight compounds including 14 chemotherapeutically active sulfones and sulfides, were tested for their antithyroid activity in rats. Promizole was the most active goitrogen of the sulfone group, having, however, only 18 per cent of the activity of thiouracil. In general, sulfides corresponding to the sulfones were more active, "Promizole sulfide" showing 53 per cent of the potency of thiouracil.
Of the simple heterocycles related to the above compounds only 5-aminothiadiazole-2-thiol (TC-68) exhibited marked antithyroid activity and is being investigated further. Certain relationships between chemical structure and antithyroid activity of these simple heterocyclic compounds have been discussed in terms of the experimental data.
