PVP-I (povidone-iodine) or Betadine, molecular iodine combined with poly-(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), has been reported as antimicrobial agent. It is also as a promising chemopreventive agent against cancer. In this study the antiproliferative effect of PVP-I on rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) and other cancer cell lines (AGS, HeLa, HepG2, and MiaPaCa2) was examined. Cancer cells were treated with PVP-I and assessed for cell proliferation, metabolic activity, colony forming assay, apoptosis, and the fluorometric assay of the ce...
