HIDE SMILES / InChI
Iodixanol (brand name VISIPAQUE) is an iodine-containing nonionic dimeric hydrophilic contrast agent for intravascular (intravenous and intra-arterial) use during coronary angiography. Pharmacodynamics studies indicated that iodixanol had fewer cardiovascular effects, caused less renal damage and were associated with similar or smaller changes to the blood-brain barrier and neurological function when compared with nonionic contrast media. It is known, that the organic iodine compounds attenuate x-rays as they pass through the body, thereby allowing the body structures containing iodine to be delineated in contrast to those structures that do not contain iodine. The degree of opacity produced by these compounds is directly proportional to the total amount (concentration and volume) of the iodinated contrast agent in the path of the x-rays. Thus, after intravascular administration, iodixanol makes opaque those internal structures in its path of flow, allowing their visualization until significant hemodilution and elimination occur.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: In a normal brain with an intact blood-brain barrier, contrast does not diffuse into the extravascular space. In patients with a disrupted blood-brain barrier, contrast agent accumulates in the interstitial space in the region of disruption.

Contrast media (CM) possess both pro-thrombotic and anticoagulant properties. There were investigated the effect of three classes of CM; Iohexol, Iodixanol and Ioxaglate, on thrombus formation and fibrinolysis in vitro and evaluated the contribution of platelets to this process. Non-anticoagulated blood was mixed with CM or saline (50% or 20% (v/v)) for 1 min then citrated. Thrombus structure was visualized by immunohistochemistry using FITC-fibrinogen antibodies, and propidium iodide to identify nucleated blood cells. Thrombi formed with Iohexol or Iodixanol weighed > OR = 10x more than saline controls (116+/-52 and 230+/-128 mg vs. 11+/-3 mg, respectively; p<0.0005), and were more resistant to thrombolysis as evidenced by the release of FITC over 24 h (19.1+/-8.9 and 31.9+/-17.2 U vs. 65.1+/-19.1 U, respectively; p<0.02).
