NH-3 is an orally active, reversible thyroid hormone receptor (THR) antagonist with an IC50 of 55 nM. It is a derivative of the selective thyromimetic GC-1 and works by inhibiting the binding of thyroid hormones to their receptor, thereby inhibiting cofactor recruitment. Additionally, NH-3 is a click chemistry reagent containing an alkyne group, enabling it to undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules that possess azide groups.
