Iodoform exhibits antibacterial activities after topical application. In a comparative study of wound dressing agents, iodoform gauze exerted an antibacterial effect 3 hours after the start of bacterial growth of _E. coli_ and subsequently maintained the strong antibacterial effectiveness. A study demonstrated that direct and indirect exposure to high concentrations of iodoform induces a cytotoxic effect on cultures of macrophages and epithelial cells _in vitro_, while cell proliferation was enhanced at low concentrations of iodoform. This cytotoxic effect of iodoform in root canals may further lead to long-term local irritation to follicles of permanent successors and formation of cyst-like radiolucent defects.

HALOFORMS ARE METABOLIZED TO CARBON MONOXIDE BY HEPATIC MICROSOMAL MIXED FUNCTION OXIDASES & THIS REACTION IS MARKEDLY STIMULATED BY SULFHYDRYL COMPOUNDS. /HALOFORMS/

TRIHALOMETHANES (HALOFORMS) WERE METABOLIZED TO CARBON MONOXIDE BY A RAT LIVER MICROSOMAL FRACTION REQUIRING BOTH NADPH AND MOLECULAR OXYGEN FOR MAXIMAL ACTIVITY. THE METABOLISM OF HALOFORMS TO CARBON MONOXIDE FOLLOWED THE HALIDE ORDER; IODOFORM YIELDED THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF CARBON MONOXIDE, WHEREAS CHLOROFORM YIELDED THE SMALLEST AMOUNT.

While the mechanism of action of iodoform remains unclear, it is proposed that iodoform releases iodine, which denatures bacterial proteins by oxidation of the free iodine. Iodoform may also play a role in chemical debridement for effective necrotic wound healing and tissue damage repair via collagen fibrinolysis; upon treatment in necrotic tissue, iodoform reduced the size of the macromolecules containing collagen I in wound surface proteins. In human gingival fibroblasts _in vitro_, high concentrations of iodoform was shown to decrease the viability of macrophages and epithelial cells and reduced the secretion of _P. gingivalis_-induced TNF. P. gingivalis is an anaerobic bacteria present in anaerobic oral niches including periapical sites and periodontal pockets.
