<chemical>

3-((((3-(acetylmethylamino)-2,4,6-triiodo-5-((methylamino)carbonyl)benzoyl)amino)acetyl)amino)-5-(((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)carbonyl)-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid. An effective, low-osmolar, ionic contrast medium used in various radiographic procedures. Its low systemic toxicity is the combined result of low chemotoxicity and low osmolality.

Pharmacological action: contrast media.
