Iophendylate, with the CAS number 99-79-6, is a chemical compound primarily used as a radiopaque agent in medical imaging, particularly in procedures involving the gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by its ability to absorb X-rays, which enhances the contrast of images obtained during diagnostic tests. The compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Iophendylate is known for its low toxicity profile when used appropriately in medical applications. Its chemical structure includes iodine, which is responsible for its radiopaque properties. In terms of safety, it is essential to handle Iophendylate with care, following appropriate guidelines to minimize exposure. The compound is regulated and should be used under medical supervision, particularly in imaging procedures, to ensure patient safety and effective diagnostic outcomes.

Iofendylate

Iofendylate is a diagnostic agent that is used in the diagnosis of congestive heart failure. It is primarily used to detect and diagnose infections in the central nervous system, such as spinal or subarachnoid infections. Iofendylate is also used to identify certain types of cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia, by identifying fatty acid profiles. Iofendylate binds to lipids in mammalian tissue and can be detected with a spectrophotometer. This compound has been shown to bind specifically to myelin sheaths in the central nervous system and increase their thickness when injected into animals with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE).
