Description

Iomeprol is an iodinated nonionic contrast agent used in X-ray imaging to enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues. Its synthesis involves the reaction of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol with 1,3,5-triiodo-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl chloride. Iomeprol is a safe and effective contrast agent, generally well-tolerated, but like all iodinated contrast agents, it can cause adverse effects such as allergic reactions, kidney problems, and thyroid dysfunction in some individuals. It is studied to understand its potential uses and risks, particularly in relation to its impact on various organs and systems. Its ability to improve the visualization of anatomical structures makes it crucial for various diagnostic procedures, including angiography, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The research on iomeprol focuses on its efficacy, safety profile, and potential applications in different clinical settings.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Iomeprol is a new triiodinated, nonionic radiographic contrast agent prepared for injection at a number of concentrations. Each of which has osmolality and viscosity properties that are more favourable than other current nonionic monomers at the same iodine concentrations.
