I2Pure Achieves Scientific Breakthrough in Iodine Solutions

September 12, 2024 07:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time

ASHBURN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE) – I2Pure is excited to announce a patent pending milestone achievement in iodine technology. Known for its expertise in iodine science and innovation, I2Pure has developed a novel and proprietary methodology to infuse nano particles with iodine that results in shelf-stable, pH-neutral iodine solutions. Using this technology, the efficacy of existing iodine products can be improved, and new iodine products can be developed that were previously out-of-reach to science and medicine. I2Pure’s breakthrough process is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and cost-effective, consuming a fraction of the energy previously required to combine iodine with nano materials.

“I2Pure remains steadfast in our vision to revolutionize the delivery of high-potency molecular iodine to applications across healthcare and beyond,” said Jeff Jochims, I2Pure CEO.

The new methodology enables the delivery of precise levels of iodine in products that can be stored at room temperature and are inherently sterile. Many resulting iodine formulations will satisfy existing FDA drug monographs while making available higher concentrations of free iodine, the antimicrobial natural element that global healthcare relies upon. For example, I2Pure’s proprietary solution will eliminate the need for surgeons and other medical professionals to mix their own iodine formulations in the operating room or other treatment areas.

“This is a key milestone along our path. With this achievement, I2Pure can design more effective doses of iodine in a variety of pH-neutral applications. With formulations that meet existing FDA monographs, we envision rapid market entry of new iodine products, such as antisepsis solutions, wound irrigations, oral rinses, and numerous other more ...

Aion Therapeutic Secures Licensing Agreement for Molecular Iodine Technology

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 31, 2024) – Aion Therapeutic Inc. (CSE: AION) ("Aion Therapeutic" or the "Company"), through its water filtration subsidiary, Toppen Health, Inc. ("Toppen"), is excited to announce that it has entered into a license agreement (the "License Agreement") with I2Pure Corp. ("I2Pure") for the worldwide rights to its patented molecular iodine for use in water disinfection applications, enhancing Toppen's advanced water filtration systems.

I2Pure is a healthcare technology company focused on leveraging the natural antimicrobial power of molecular iodine to fight pathogens and reduce infection risks. "I've been intrigued by the potential use of iodine's natural antimicrobial capabilities in water disinfection for many years," says Owen Boyd, CEO of Toppen. "This license agreement has made that potential a reality. We can now talk about previously unattainable filtration goals. Our unique filter design will remove pathogens from any water source while continually releasing I2Pure's molecular iodine to protect water lines from biofilm and pathogens, greatly enhancing our ability to filter and disinfect water from any source."

Toppen filters have an outer filtration layer that pre-treats the water, removing contaminants. Its patented Center Core technology then allows for a slow-release of disinfectant material, in this case molecular iodine, ensuring the right amount of disinfectant is effectively and safely added to the water. The result of this process is water that is virtually 100% clean of any bacteria, pathogens, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance ("PFAS" or "forever chemicals"), and pharmaceuticals.

"Millions of dollars are spent every year in the dental and healthcare industries, testing and shocking water lines, which still has an unsatisfactory rate of success," Mr. Boyd adds. "I2Pure has been a tremendous partner in helping us to realize our vision for improved water safety. Their scientific team exceeded our expectations for delivery of slow-release iodine that incorporates seamlessly into our Center Core filtration devices. Toppen's advanced water filtration solutions, combined with I2Pure's molecular iodine, can facilitate ion exchange, sorbent, and membrane filtration, along with many other types of media for separation, ultimately ensuring we can remove or neutralize any and all contaminants in any water supply effectively and affordably, without any guesswork." more ...

Molecular iodine is not responsible for cytotoxicity in iodophors

Journal of Hospital Infection - February 4, 2022

For the last 67 years, there has been a lack of accurate information presented to global healthcare providers regarding molecular iodine. This foundational manuscript in The Journal of Hospital Infections will begin to contextualize molecular iodine for the first time.

The conclusion of the manuscript: "The maximum concentration of I₂ found in diluted PVP, about 25 ppm, is not cytotoxic or irritating. The potential clinical utility of I₂ has been limited by incorporating this broad-spectrum biocide in acidic aqueous formulations that contain numerous chemical species that contribute toxicity but not biocidal activity. I₂ can be delivered topically into hypodermis tissue without irritation."
