| iodopanoic acid | <chemical> 3-amino-alpha-ethyl-2,4,6-triiodobenzenepropanoic acid. Radiopaque medium used as diagnostic aid. Pharmacological action: contrast media. Chemical name: Benzenepropanoic acid, 3-amino-alpha-ethyl-2,4,6-triiodo- (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodophendylate | <chemical> Ethyl-10(p-iodophenyl)undecylate. A mixture of isomers used as contrast medium, mainly for brain and spinal cord visualization. Pharmacological action: contrast media. Chemical name: Benzenedecanoic acid, 4-iodo-iota-methyl-, ethyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodophenyl-nitrophenyl-phenyltetrazolium reductase | <enzyme> Used as a test of leukocyte reductase activity Registry number: EC 1.6.- Synonym: int-reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| iodophil granule | A granule that stains brown with iodine; found in many of the polymorphonuclear leukocytes in pneumonia, erysipelas, scarlet fever, and various other acute diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodophilia | An affinity for iodine, as manifested by some leukocytes in certain conditions. When treated with a solution of iodine and potassium iodide, normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes stain a fairly bright yellow; in certain pathologic conditions, the polymorphonuclear leukocytes frequently stain diffusely brown or yellow-brown; the reaction may be intracellular (as described) or extracellular, affecting the particles in the immediate vicinity of the leukocytes. Origin: iodine + G. Phileo, to love (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodophor | A combination of iodine with a surfactant carrier, usually polyvinylpyrrolidone. Commercial preparations generally contain 1% "available" iodine, which is slowly released to take effect against microorganisms; used as skin disinfectants, particularly for surgical scrubs. Synonym: tamed iodine. Origin: iodine + G. Phora, a carrying (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodophors | <chemical> Complexes of iodine and non-ionic surface-active agent acting as carrier and solubilizing agent for the iodine in water. Iodophors usually enhance bactericidal activity of iodine, reduce vapor pressure and odour, minimise staining, and allow wide dilution with water. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodophthalein | A radiographic contrast medium. The disodium salt was once used in radiography of the gallbladder. Synonym: tetraiodophenolphthalein sodium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodopropylidene glycerol | A form of organically bound iodine which liberates iodine systemically. Has been used as a medicinal source of iodine and as an expectorant in place of inorganic iodides such as potassium iodide. Synonym: iodopropylidene glycerol, organidin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodoproteins | Proteins containing iodine bound to tyrosine groups. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodopsin | A visual pigment, composed of 11-cis-retinal bound to an opsin, found in the cones of the retina. Synonym: visual violet. Origin: G. Ion, violet, + ops, eye, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodopyracet | <chemical> An ionic monomeric contrast medium that was formerly used for a variety of diagnostic procedures. Pharmacological action: contrast media. Chemical name: 1(4H)-Pyridineacetic acid, 3,5-diiodo-4-oxo-, compd. With 2,2'-iminobis(ethanol) (1:1) (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodopyridones | Iodinated pyridine derivatives that are often used as contrast media. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodoquinine | <chemistry> A iodide of quinine obtained as a brown substance,. It is the base of herapathite. See Herapathite. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
