CAS 64-69-7: Iodoacetic acid

Iodoacetic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It reduces the production of prostaglandin E2, which is a chemical mediator of inflammation. Iodoacetic acid has been shown to have no significant effects on energy metabolism or response element activity in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Iodoacetic acid has shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzyme form that converts dinucleotide phosphate (NAD) into NADH (NADase). This compound is stable in sephadex g-100, which allows for easy separation by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The analytical method for iodoacetic acid involves adding the compound to a buffer solution containing sephadex g-100 and measuring the decrease in light transmission at 236 nm over time.

Applications Used as a general reagent in acylation reactions. A byproduct formed in treated waters, and found in marine life. E0 References Zuckermann, R.N. et al.; J. Am. Chem.

Iodoacetic acid

Iodoacetic acid is used as a reagent for the modification of sulfhydryl groups in organic synthesis. It reacts with cysteine moiety in proteins to prevent the re-formation of disulfide bonds during protein sequencing. It is also used as a general reagent in acylation reactions as well as in glycopeptide synthesis.
