Diatrizoate meglumine is the meglumine salt form of diatrizoate, an organic, iodinated, radiopaque X-ray contrast medium used in diagnostic radiography. The iodine moiety of diatrizoate meglumine is not penetrable by X-rays, therefore blocks the X-ray film exposure by radiation. This makes it possible to distinguish on X-ray film, body parts that contain diatrizoate meglumine from body parts that do not contain this agent and allows for visualization of different body structures. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): CT contrast agents. Its therapeutic use is listed as diagnostic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Cardiografin, Cystografin, Angiovist 282 and Unipaque. Its PubChem CID is 8566.
