process 

Methyl aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl ether can be used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, such as the preparation of methimazole, chemical name 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol, which is an anti thyroid drug. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit thyroid peroxidase, thereby hindering the oxidation of iodide absorbed into the thyroid and the coupling of tyrosine, and hindering the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Animal experiments have observed that B lymphocytes synthesize antibodies, reducing the level of thyroid stimulating antibodies in the bloodstream and restoring normal inhibitory T cells.
