Structure of<unk>  complex.<unk>  is a chemical complex of the polymer<unk>  (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and triiodide (I3−). It is soluble in cold and mild-warm water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and glycerol. Its stability in solution is much greater than that of tincture of<unk>  or Lugol's solution. Free<unk> , slowly liberated from the<unk>  <unk>  complex in solution, kills cells through<unk> tion of lipids and oxidation of cytoplasmic and membrane compounds. This agent exhibits a broad range of microbiocidal activity against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. Slow release of<unk>  from the<unk>  complex in solution minimizes<unk>  toxicity towards mammalian cells.<unk>  can be loaded into hydrogels, which can be based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and gelatin, or on crosslinked polyacrylamide. These hydrogels can be used for wound dressing. The rate of release of the<unk>  in the<unk>  is heavily dependent on the hydrogel composition: it increases with more CMC/PVA and decreases with more gelatin.
