(Diacetoxyiodo)benzene, also known as DAIB, is an organoiodine compound used in a variety of scientific research applications. For example, it is employed in the cleavage of vic-glycols, hydroxylations and many other oxidation reactions. Additionally, it can be used to study enzyme inhibition, enzyme-catalyzed reactions, cell signaling pathways, the effects of oxidative stress on cells, and the effects of toxins on cells. (Diacetoxyiodo)benzene may act to inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, as well as to interfere with cell signaling pathways. It has also been reported to induce oxidative stress in cells and increase the production of reactive oxygen species.
