What is Adipiodon?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Adipiodone is an organoiodine compound that is 3-amino-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid in which one of the amino hydrogens is substituted by a 6-(3-carboxy-2,4,6-triiodoanilino)-6-oxohexanoyl group. It is a water-soluble radiographic contrast media for cholecystography and intravenous cholangiography. It has a role as a radioopaque medium. It is a secondary carboxamide, a member of benzoic acids and an organoiodine compound. It is a conjugate acid of an adipiodone(2-).
