Beschreibung

Diphenyliodonium iodide is a chemical compound that has been studied for its antimicrobial properties. It is a redox-active agent that reacts with hydrogen fluoride to form diphenyliodonium hydrochloride and elemental iodine. Diphenyliodonium iodide has shown effectiveness against gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negative bacteria, although it is not effective against mycobacteria. The mechanism of action of this compound is the oxidation of sulfhydryl groups on proteins, which inactivates enzymes and inhibits the synthesis of protein chains. This inhibition prevents bacterial growth.

Diphenyliodonium iodide can be used as a model system for studying the reaction mechanisms of other redox-active agents in biological systems.
