Biological Activity

Description Potassium Iodide is used to treat overactive thyroid and to protect the thyroid gland from the effects of radiation from inhaled or swallowed radioactive iodine.
In vitro
In vitro Iodine induces abnormal morphologic changes of cells, inhibited cell proliferation, and increases apoptosis rate in rat aorta endothelial cells. Iodine also reduces the activity of SOD, GSH-Px, and concentrations of GSH and increases the concentrations of MDA and protein carbonyl in a dose-dependent manner. Excess iodine decreased the activity of eNOS and increased the activity of iNOS and the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in culture medium. Excess iodine exposure increases oxidative stress, causes damage of vascular endothelial cells, and altered the expression of adhesion factors and the activity of NOS. [1] Potassium iodide increases avidity of some immune reactions including C-mediated cell lysis mediated by altered access of C-binding receptors. [2] Potassium iodide (≥50 mM) increases lipid peroxidation in concentration-dependent manner. Potassium iodide (25 mM) reduces Fenton reaction-induced lipid peroxidation. [3] Potassium iodide is able to eliminate E faecalis from bovine root dentin when used with a 15-minute contact time. [4]
In Vivo
In vivo Potassium Iodide decreases Schiff's bases (SB) concentrations in liver and lung homogenates after the administration of PTU but, unexpectedly, the level of SB increases in kidney homogenates of Wistar rats. [5]

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
