The effects of the antithyroid goitrogens, methylthiouracil and methylmercaptoimidazole, on the oxidation of N-acetyltyrosylamide at pH 8.8 by lactoperoxidase have been evaluated in the presence and the absence of iodide for the purpose of elucidating the effects of iodide. At pH 8.8, iodine is not oxidized. In the absence of iodide, the two antithyroid drugs inactivate lactoperoxidase by a second order process. When iodide is added before methylthiouracil or methylmercaptoimidazole, enzyme inactivation does not occur as rapidly and both goitrogens are readily oxidized. The kinetics of the oxidation reactions have been analyzed in order to obtain the equilibrium constant of the iodide . lactoperoxidase complex. Essentially the same iodide dissociation constant, i.e. 2 x 10(-5) M, was found by studying its effects on the kinetics of oxidation of the two antithyroid drugs. A large difference absorption spectrum is observed in the Soret region between native lactoperoxidase and lactoperoxidase inactivated by methylthiouracil.
