Biological Activity

Description	Povidone iodine (Betadine, PVP iodine, PVP-I, Isodine) is a stable chemical complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone (povidone, PVP) and elemental iodine. Povidone iodine displays excellent antibacterial activity against MRSA and MSSA strains with MICs of 31.25 mg/L and 7.82 mg/L, respectively. Povidone iodine is used as a topical antiseptic in surgery and for skin and mucous membrane infections, as well as as an aerosol.
In vitro	Exposure to PVP-I, of which concentrations are even lower than those used clinically, causes toxicity in epithelial cells^[2].
In vivo	Povidone-iodine is a broad spectrum antiseptic for topical application in the treatment and prevention of infection in wounds, using the antiseptic properties of iodine. A study investigating its use in defective tissue in neural structures reveals that Myelin changes are absent or minimal in all cases of the control group but are present as markedly increased myelin degeneration in nearly all cases in the PVP-I group. Axonal degeneration and hypoxic neuronal damage are absent in the control group, whereas they are marked in half of the PVP-I group. No statistically significant differences are established in Schwann cell proliferation, venous congestion, and lymphocytic proliferation between the two groups^[1].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[2]}	Cell lines HeLa cells Concentrations 0.01-1000 μM Incubation Time 1 or 2 days Method One day after seeding, wells are exposed to PVP-I (0.01 to 1000 μM), which has been diluted with DMEM containing 10% FBS. Plates are further cultured for 1 or 2 days at 37℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator. The cell incubation time of 1 or 2 days is determined based on data regarding the onset time of iododerma and nephropathy pathogenesis.
