Functional Indications
Powerful disinfectant effect and can kill bacterial spores, fungi, viruses, and some protozoa. Iodine mainly acts in the form of molecules (I2), and its principle may be due to iodination and oxidation of pathogenic microbial protein activity genes, which bind to the amino groups of proteins, leading to protein denaturation and inhibition of the metabolic enzyme system of pathogenic microorganisms. Iodine is insoluble in water and is not easily hydrolyzed to form iodate. The components that have bactericidal effects in iodine aqueous solution are elemental iodine (I2), ions of triiodide (I3-), and iodate (HIO). Among them, HIO has a small amount but the strongest effect, followed by I2, and the bactericidal effect of dissociated I3- is extremely weak. Under acidic conditions, free iodine increases and has a stronger bactericidal effect, while under alkaline conditions, the opposite is true.
Suitable for disinfecting mucosal surfaces, used for treating mucosal inflammation and ulcers in the oral cavity, tongue, gingiva, vagina, and other areas.
