New organic iodine complex in the amino acid - alkali metal salt - iodine - water systemwas synthesized. The physico-chemical properties of complexdi- ((2S) -2-amino-3- (1H-indol-3-yl) propionate)-dihydro-tetraiodide were studied. Microscopic analysis shows that particles of complex have elongated needle-like linear stick-like shapes with average size 2.50-4.00 µm. The cytotoxicity test on MDCK cell culture, antimicrobial activity on S. aureus ATCC 6538-Р (museum susceptible strain); S. aureus ATCC-BAA-39 (museum multiresistant strain); E. coli ATCC 8739 (museum susceptible strain); E. coli ATCC-BAA-196 (museum multiresistant strain); P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027 (museum susceptible strain); P. aeruginosa TA2were observed. Complex has low cytotoxicity, direct antiviral effect, and antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms. Di- ((2S) -2-amino-3- (1H-indol-3-yl) propionate)-dihydro-tetraiodide does not cause any mutagenic effect on mammalian cells of the L5178Y line, both in the presence and in the absence of metabolic activation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
