Iothalamate meglumine

Iothalamate Meglumine is the meglumine salt form of iothalamate, an organic iodine compound and a radiographic contrast medium. Iothalamate meglumine blocks x-rays as they pass through the body, thereby allowing body structures not containing iodine to be visualized. The degree of opacity produced by iothalamate meglumine is directly proportional to the total amount of the iodinated contrast agent in the path of the x-rays. The visualization of body structures is dependent upon the distribution and elimination of iothalamate meglumine. (NCI05). It is grouped under the following drug class(es): CT contrast agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Conray and Iotalamic acid meglumine. Its PubChem CID is 656642.
