Groups of 6-wk-old male F344/NCr rats received a single i.v. injection of either vehicle or N-nitrosomethylurea (Cas: 684-93-5) (MNU) at a dose of 41.2 mg/kg body weight. Two wk later, groups of rats were placed on iodine-deficient, iodine-adequate, or commercial (Wayne Lab Blox) diets, or one of these diets and without previous MNU injection. Animals were sacrificed at either 52 or 77 wk, or w...

Hyaluronate-iodine complex is a wound healing adjuvant approved for use in the European Union. The objective of this study is to validate hyaluronate-iodine as a potential wound healing agent. Patients were recruited from the hospital, the outpatient clinic, and the wound healing center. Hyaluronate-iodine soaked gauze was applied to wounds either daily or every other day depending on the amoun...

A novel co-crystal, [(BTEMPO)2(2+)·4I2·2I5(-)] (BTEMPO(+) = 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxoammonium cation), was successfully constructed using iodine and 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy free radical (BTEMPO) as starting materials and was well characterized by XRD, Raman and calculation. The co-crystal possesses a fascinating 3D anionic cage structure formed ...

1. The reactions of retinol and retinoic acid with iodine were investigated since knowledge of the chemical reactions of vitamin A with acceptors of electrons may shed light on its biochemical mode of action. 2. Colloidal retinol, but not retinoic acid, reacts with iodine to yield a blue-green complex that rapidly decomposes, giving iodide and an unknown species with lambda(max.) at 870mmu. 3. ...
