| Bioactivity | Povidone iodine (iodopovidone) displays excellent antibacterial activity which can against MRSA and MSSA strains with MICs of 31.25 mg/L and 7.82 mg/L, respectively. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | MIC values of Povidone iodine (iodopovidone) (PVP-I) are 31.25 mg/L and 7.82 mg/L, respectively. Treatment of the cells with Povidone iodine (PVP-I) at a dilution of 1:32 causes a sharp reduction in cell viability by 90-95% on all testing cell lines[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | The Dp+Povidone iodine (iodopovidone) (PVP-I) group has the second highest average score from day 13 to the end of the experimental period. The Dp+Povidone iodine and Dp+Et-OH groups also show a significantly increase in eosinophil count compare with the control group (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively). However, the eosinophil count does not significantly differ among the Dp+Povidone iodine (PVP-I), Dp+CHG, and Dp+vehicle groups[2]. | ||||||||||||
