Fine Art Print : Synthetic thyroid hormone molecule
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Synthetic thyroid hormone molecule
Synthetic thyroid hormone molecule. Computer model of a molecule of levothyroxine (L-thyroxine, also called synthetic T4), the synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. It is used as a drug and prescribed to treat the thyroid gland disorder hypothyroidism (a deficiency of thyroid hormones). Thyroxine contains the chemical element iodine (I) and plays an important role in regulating body metabolism. The chemical formula of the hormone is C15.H11.I4.N.O4. This molecular model has colour- coded rods for atoms: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (grey), iodine (purple), nitrogen (dark blue), oxygen (red). Levothyroxine is a chiral isomer of natural D-thyroxine, which means that it is metabolised more slowly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the synthetic thyroid hormone molecule, levothyroxine. Used as a drug to treat hypothyroidism, this synthetic form of thyroxine plays a crucial role in regulating body metabolism. The molecular structure is represented by color-coded rods that highlight different atoms: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (grey), iodine (purple), nitrogen (dark blue), and oxygen (red). With its chemical formula C15. H11. I4. N. O4, levothyroxine contains the essential element iodine and is metabolized more slowly than natural D-thyroxine due to its chiral isomerism. This intricate illustration provides valuable insights into the pharmaceutical world, offering an optical representation of how drugs interact at a molecular level. The tube-like structures and rod-shaped elements within this artwork symbolize the structural complexity of biochemical compounds used in medicine. It serves as a reminder of the incredible advancements made in pharmacology and biochemistry, enabling scientists to develop effective treatments for various disorders. While this image captures the beauty and intricacy of organic molecules like levothyroxine, it also emphasizes their vital role in maintaining human health. By shedding light on scientific breakthroughs such as synthetic hormones, we gain a deeper understanding of how our bodies function and how medical interventions can restore balance when deficiencies occur.
