Application


  • Photo-physical characterization of high triplet yield brominated fluoresceins by transient state (TRAST) spectroscopy.: This article discusses the use of potassium iodide in TRAST spectroscopy to enhance the photophysical properties of brominated fluoresceins, revealing significant insights into their triplet yield behaviors (Demirbay et al., 2023).

  • Effect of different iodide intake during pregnancy and lactation on thyroid and cardiovascular function in maternal and offspring rats.: The study investigates how varying levels of iodide intake, including from sources like potassium iodide, affect thyroid and cardiovascular health in rats during pregnancy and lactation, providing crucial data for understanding iodide′s impact on health (Zhao et al., 2023).

  • Interaction between potassium iodide and bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin and lysozyme under different temperature induction.: This paper examines the interactions between potassium iodide and various proteins under different thermal conditions, contributing to a deeper understanding of biochemical processes and protein stability (Pan et al., 2023).

  • Response surface methodology combined Box-Behnken design optimized green kinetic spectrophotometric and HPLC methods to quantify angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan in pharmaceutical formulations.: This study utilizes potassium iodide in the development of green analytical methods for the quantification of valsartan, demonstrating the effectiveness of response surface methodology in optimizing these techniques (Haque et al., 2023).

Potassium iodide (KI) is a useful drug in the dermatologic armamentarium. It is successfully used for inflammatory dermatoses, most notably erythema nodosum, subacute nodular migratory panniculitis, nodular vasculitis, erythema multiforme, and Sweet's syndrome. KI is also successfully used for cutaneous
