Diatrizoic Acid

Diatrizoic Acid is an organic, iodinated radiopaque X-ray contrast medium used in diagnostic radiography. (In Vitro) :HK-2 cells are exposed to 0-30 mg I/mL Diatrizoic acid (Diatrizoate) or vehicle for 2-24 h. MTT and trypan blue exclusion indicate a decrease in mitochondrial and cell viability within 2 and 24 h, respectively. (In Vivo) :Diatrizoic acid is an iodinated radiocontrast agent. Histological examination of rat lung tissue shows no acute toxicity or inflammation after insufflation of Diatrizoic acid nanoparticle agglomerates. Diatrizoic acid nanoparticle agglomerates offers a promising radiocontrast agent for safe and effective lung visualization.
