Description

3-Amino-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid (3AIBA) is a chemical compound that is used as a contrast agent for medical imaging. It has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of bladder cancer, and is used in the embolization of renal artery and ureteral calculi. 3AIBA functions by binding to the antigen binding sites on the tumor cells and allows visualization with X-rays. It has also been shown to be effective in reducing blood flow in tumors by blocking blood vessels with its cationic monomer. 3AIBA binds to the phosphate groups on DNA and causes crosslinking, which prevents DNA polymerase from binding with DNA. This inhibits DNA synthesis and cell division.
