What is hydrazine iodide in?

Answer 1

Don't know, but what I do know is I mix Lugol's with hydrazine hydrate to get hydrazine iodide. I used this as a antiseptic solution to kill viruses as alcohol antiseptic is useless and iodine has staining properties and also cleaning. A trace concentration is used as an antioxidant for cleaning chemicals and other things I used. I also used it correctly or incorrectly to remove skin blemishes that can't be clean by ordinary means. Potassium iodide in itself doesn't work as antiseptic solution. Trace hydrazine in amino acid was found to have powerful antioxidant effects against glycation and hence is used in research, especially the histidine hydrazide, but maybe used with iodine with trace quantities of hydrazine iodide to allow iodine to be more of a reducing compound or a reductant in various chemical reaction and perhaps in removal of Advanced Glycation End products (AGE) where it is required. Most iodine are relatively unconsumable in larger amounts as iodine is more of an oxidant and it's REDOX is in compatible in humans and hydrazine iodide is used in research to find ways to allowing the body to uptake iodine in greater quantities when the REDOX are close to biological REDOX. Of course there are other alternatives such as histidine hydrazide or another hydrazine component such as aminoguanidine used in similar research, but it can't carry the iodine needed by the cells, yet iodine uptake is still limited through potassium iodide, sodium iodide, and hence the reducing the iodine is being explored as a possible ways to improve the iodine uptake to the cells by making their REDOX closer to the cells REDOX. For example if the cells's ORP is -50 mV, we have to adjust using the hydrazine iodide to get similar -50 mV, this should reduce the toxicity of the differences in the ORP, besides of course after you adjusted the pH to similar cellular conditions as well. Other scientists out there might be doing similar things, but may used hydrogen iodide instead, unfortunately hydrogen iodide is not available and a hydrazine iodide can be made from an iodine solution being more convenient and it seems the iodine solution is more stable then the hydrogen iodide. That's the best I can say about this, which I have no idea what they are used for, but this is at least what I am currently looking into. The compound of hydrazine iodide however, in a biological systems may lead to a thiamine deficiency and hence, the addition of this may also be needed.
