General description
Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a large polymer containing a carbonyl, C-N and alkyl functional groups.
Application
Polyvinylpyrrolidone has been used:
- to perform intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedure
- in the preparation of endophyte coating agent mixture, to coat creeping bentgrass seed
- as a component of prehybridization solution
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polyvinylpyrrolidone can bind to polyphenol. Thus, it is known to be used for RNA isolation from plants rich in polyphenols. It is extensively used in the synthesis of nanoparticles.
Other Notes
Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a component of Denhardt′s Solution and is included at a concentration of 1% (w/v) in the standard 50X stock solution.

Sleep requires sleep-active neurons that depolarize to inhibit wake circuits. Sleep-active neurons are under the control of homeostatic mechanisms that determine sleep need. However, little is known about the molecular and circuit mechanisms that translate sleep need into the depolarization

Colloidal synthesis offers a route to nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled composition and structural features. This Perspective describes the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to obtain such nanostructures. PVP can serve as a surface stabilizer, growth modifier, nanoparticle dispersant, and reducing agent.
