CAS 121-19-7

Roxarsone

Description:

Roxarsone, with the CAS number 121-19-7, is an organoarsenic compound primarily used as a veterinary drug and feed additive in poultry and swine to promote growth and prevent disease. It appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its antimicrobial properties. Roxarsone is soluble in water and has a relatively low toxicity compared to other arsenic compounds, although concerns have been raised regarding its potential to convert to more toxic forms of arsenic in the environment. Its chemical structure includes an arsenic atom bonded to an aromatic ring, which contributes to its biological activity. The compound has been scrutinized for its environmental impact, particularly regarding arsenic accumulation in animal products and potential human health risks. Regulatory agencies have evaluated its safety, leading to restrictions in some regions. Overall, while Roxarsone has been effective in agricultural applications, its use is increasingly being reconsidered due to environmental and health concerns associated with arsenic exposure.

Roxarsone

CAS: 121-19-7

Roxarsone is a monosodium salt that is soluble in water. Roxarsone has the potential to be used as a biomarker for exposure to arsenic. It has been shown to have polymerase chain, enzyme activities, and energy metabolism effects in vitro. Roxarsone also inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with DNA synthesis and plasma mass spectrometry. This drug may also induce toxicity in humans, although this is not well-studied.
