GRAM'S IODINE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Lugol solution has been used in a study to assess narrow-band imaging without image magnification for detecting high-grade dysplasia and intramucosal esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It has also been used in a study to determine its benefit in aiding detection of the presence and spread of small squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus.

Definition

ChEBI: Iodine aqueous is an organic molecular entity.

General Description

Lugol solution is comprised of aqueous potassium iodide plus iodine.

Biological Activity

Iodine(I) interacts with Crystal Violet(CV) to form large CV-I complexes within the cytoplasm and outer layers of the cell.

Safety Profile

Experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of I-.
