CAS 10450-60-9: Periodic acid (H5IO6)

Periodic acid is used as a component for glycoprotein stains. It serves as a pharmaceutical and synthetic intermediate and is used in silk screen printing. It acts as an oxidizing agent especially in the cleavage of 1,2 diols to prepare dialdehydes. It has selective oxidation powers which makes it an ideal reagent for the reclamation of silk screens in the printing industry. It finds application in life sciences for the analysis of intracellular polysaccharides like glycogen, starch and cellulose. Furthermore, it is used in oxidation reactions converting sulfides into sulfones, catalyzed by chromium(VI) oxide and oxidation reactions converting alcohols to aldehydes and ketones.

Applications Periodic Acid is used as a reagent in periodate cleavage reactions which is particularly useful in modifying saccharide rings for determining structure of carbohydrates. Periodic Acid is also used as an oxidising agent. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Jackson, E., et al.: J. Am.

Periodic acid is a natural product that has been used as an antimicrobial agent for more than 100 years. It has been shown to have pro-apoptotic properties in a number of cell systems, including monocyte-like cells, hepatocyte-like cells, and epidermal growth factor receptor-transfected cells. Periodic acid is also effective against inflammatory bowel disease in infants. This drug also has anti-inflammatory effects and may be useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Periodic acid inhibits the metabolic rate in cell cultures by blocking oxidative phosphorylation at complex I and II, leading to increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This ROS production induces apoptosis through a caspase cascade.
