Aminothiazole is a heterocyclic amine, commonly used as a starting point for synthesis of many compounds. In 1940s aminothiazole was used for the treatment of thyrotoxicosis. It has a direct action on the thyroid and acts by inhibiting T4 synthesis and accelerating its deiodination. Aminothiazole is an inhibitor of inducible NO synthetase (IC50 18 uM).
