Conflict of Interest

Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Listed Research Project
Thyroid Hormone Action

PROJECT NARRATIVE This research seeks to design, synthesize, and characterize novel thyroid hormone receptor (TR) ligands that have selective actions in the central nervous system (CNS). There are several CNS disorders that might benefit from stimulation of thyroid hormone signaling pathways, but most if not all of the known TR ligands do not possess the necessary safety margin separating the stimulation of desired thyroid action in the CNS from undesired actions in non-CNS tissues. Our approach involves the development of a pro-drug strategy that masks the TR ligand making it inactive in blood and non-CNS tissue. However, upon accessing the CNS by penetration of the blood-brain-barrier, the pro-drug protection is unmasked revealing the active TR ligand. The purpose of this research is to test and validate this approach to generate new thyroid hormone based research tools and drugs for use in the CNS.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
