Organic iodine

X-ray contrast media are usually highly concentrated aqueous solutions. A typical product contains 300-370 mg iodine/ml, which corresponds to about 600-800 mg of the iodinated organic molecule per ml. The high concentration of the contrast substance leaves limited room for water (about 0.7 ml per ml of contrast agent) and restricts the design of the molecules because... 

It has been suggested that potassium perchlorate should be used in the treatment of type 1 hyperthyroidism and glucocorticoids in the treatment of type 2 (SEDA-21, 199). Since hypothyroidism due to amiodarone tends to occur in areas in which there is sufficient iodine in the diet, it has been hypothesized that an iodinated organic inhibitor of hormone synthesis is formed and that the formation of this inhibitor is inhibited by perchlorate to a greater extent than thyroid hormone iodination is inhibited, since the iodinated lipids that are thought to be inhibitors require about 10 times more iodide than the hormone. However, there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment with potassium perchlorate, and it can cause serious adverse effects (SED-13,1281).

Diethanolamine has also been used to form the soluble salts of active compounds, such as iodinated organic acids that are used as contrast media. As a stabilizing agent, diethanolamine prevents the discoloration of aqueous formulations containing hexamethylenetetramine-1,3-dichloropropene salts. 

Meglumine is an organic base used as a pH-adjusting agent and solubilizing agent primarily in the preparation of soluble salts of iodinated organic acids used as X-ray contrast media. 

CT contrast agents (primarily, heavily iodinated organic compounds) were included in the inner water compartment of liposomes or incorporated into the liposome membrane. Thus, lopromide was incorporated into plain (166) and PEGylated liposomes (167) and demonstrated favorable biodistribution and... 

Dense iodinated organic compounds (e.g., iodixanol) derived from X-ray contrast materials can be used in applications that require higher densities than Percoll (as high as 1.5 g/cm3) as well as low ionic strength and low osmolarity.

Direct photoreaction (eq 4) is important only for halocarbons (e.g., aromatic compounds) that significantly absorb radiation at wavelengths >295 nm, the cutoff for solar spectral irradiance at the earth s surface. Because saturated chlorinated and fluorinated organic compounds, including methylchloroform and chlorofluorocarbons, absorb solar radiation very weakly, their direct photoreaction is very slow in the sea and in fresh waters. As discussed in a later section, photoreactions of these compounds may be accelerated by sorption and indirect photoreactions in natural waters. Saturated and olefinic polv-brominated and iodinated organic compounds have long absorption tails that extend beyond 295 nm. Direct photoreaction of such compounds in aquatic environments may be significant. 

Aquatic Sources of Halocarbons. One of the main pathways for the natural formation of halocarbons involves peroxidase enzymes (8, 68-70). Chloroperoxidases can catalyze the formation of chlorinated, brominated, and iodinated organic compounds bromoperoxidases can produce only the latter two types of halocarbons (8, 69). The Fe-heme peroxidase enzymes, which are activated by hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides, produce methyl halides as well as polyhalogenated compounds (Scheme II). 

The stabilization of Br in solution requires most addic solutions such as superacid and fluorosulphuric acid, whereas can already be stabilized in milder addic media, such as sulphuric acid. This is explained by the fact that Br3 is more electrophilic than I3, as it is of smaller size and has a more highly concentrated charge. Solutions of I3 were used to iodinate organic compounds I3 AsFg" was found to re-act °l as follows ... 

Thus, in total, the method continuously produces fractions that represent the reactor-water contents of elementary iodine, organic iodides, iodide + hypoiodous acid, and iodate + periodate. By comparing the specific activity of different iodine isotopes, it is also possible to determine the relative age of the iodine species in the different fractions. 

Recently, also triblockcopolymers of polystyrene-b-PVF2-b-polystyrene have been synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization. A linear increase of molar mass with conersion and low polydispersities of the products could be achieved. These blockcopolymers can be used as compatibilizers. Blockcopolymer formation is also reported when, e.g., tetrafluorethylene and perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether) are copolymerized using a boron or iodine organic compound and then TFE and VF2 are added [567].

Iodine in its various chemical states - soluble iodine, iodide ions, iodine, iodine-organic compounds - has been determined by neutron activation for several species of green, red, and brown algae (Hou et al., 1997 Hou, Yan, and Chai, 2000).
