Iodothyronine deiodinases are selenoenzymes which regulate the thyroidhormone homeostasis by catalyzing the regioselectivedeiodination of thyroxine (T4). Synthetic deiodinase mimetics are important not only to understand the mechanism of enzyme catalysis, but also to develop therapeutic agents as abnormal thyroidhormone levels have implications in different diseases, such as hypoxia, myocardial
