Implications and Practical Applications of the Chemical Speciation of Iodine in the Biological Context

Abstract: Iodine is a highly reactive element with a single natural and stable isotopic form (127I). In the biosphere, it is one of the 30 essential elements for life, and its chemical speciation defines its availability and biological activities. The most relevant chemical species are iodate (IO3−) and iodide (I−) as the major sources of iodine, with molecular iodine (I2) and hypoiodous acid (HIO) as the most reactive species, and thyroid hormones (THs) as the representative organic compounds. In human biology, THs are… Show more

“…The iodide then returns to the blood compartment. This active cycling of iodide could be related to the antioxidant properties of iodine in its ionic form (I-) which would accumulate to protect cells against oxidative stress 64, 65 . Conversely, reactive forms of iodine (e.g., I2) or other oxidized anions carried by NIS, such as thiocyanate 66 and nitrate 67 , could have a bactericidal effect on the food bolus.…”

“…The overall reaction of this catalytic event is two molecules of hydrogen peroxide decomposing into two molecules of water plus oxygen. 11 Given that the process is initiated following the dissociation of the salt, the sodium counterion likely has little effect on the actual mechanism of action. The choice of counterion does, however, affect other factors including the solubility and molecular weight of the compound.…”
