Description

Methyl 4-iodosalicylate is a redox potential molecule that can be used in the treatment of HIV infections. Studies have shown that methyl 4-iodosalicylate is able to enhance the activity of antiretroviral therapies, and is also able to increase the light emission from fluorophores when combined with sodium triflate. This compound has been shown to have pharmacokinetic properties that are similar to those of salicylic acid. Methyl 4-iodosalicylate has been shown to transport into human erythrocytes, and fluoresce when excited by light with a wavelength of 365 nm.
Methyl 4-iodosalicylate has been studied as a possible therapy for various conditions including cancer, arthritis, and heart disease. It may also be useful for improving skin health or for use as a topical antimicrobial agent.
