The term ionic inhibitors designates the substances that interfere with the concentration of iodide by the thyroid gland. The effective agents are themselves anions that in some ways resemble iodide; they are all monovalent, hydrated anions of a size similar to that of iodide. The most studied example, thiocyanate, differs from the others qualitatively; it is not concentrated by the thyroid gland, and in large amounts it inhibits the organification of iodine.
