Possible Interaction: Hydrogen Peroxide and Iodine

“It is believed the extra iodine concentration within thyroid gland control thyroid hormones synthesis by inhibition of the TPO and hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2 ) formation which is also an essential factor of iodine oxidation, via a complex mechanism.”

“The role of iodide ions has been studied and mainly attributed as a catalyst with I2 as the reaction intermediate, which reduced the activation energy for the reduction of H2O2.”

“Treatment of I with H2O2 resulted in formation of the corresponding sulfoxide (V) and sulfone (VI), which blocked the formation of III.”

“In the presence of sublytic concentrations of H2O2 , the binding of iodinated defensin to targets was significantly increased, providing a possible explanation for the observed synergy.”

“These observations suggest that 1) H2O2 relaxes canine bronchial smooth muscle and 2) elevation of tissue content of cAMP induced by prostaglandin E2 and I2 may be involved.”

“Nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide converted iodine into iodate in microwave-assisted digestion and prevented iodine volatilization and memory effects.”

“We studied co-operative inhibitory activities (synergism, additive effects and modes of growth inhibition) of hydrogen peroxide and iodine used concurrently against 3 bacterial and 16 yeast species.”

“(29)Si and (183)W NMR spectroscopy and CSI mass spectrometry show that reaction of I with excess hydrogen peroxide leads to fast formation of a diperoxo species, [TBA](4)[gamma-SiW(10)O(32)(O(2))(2)] (II), with retention of a gamma-Keggin type structure.”

“However iodine loss is greater in the presence of H2O2.”
