As-[4-[(2-Hydroxyacetyl)amino]phenyl]arsonic acid

Description:

As-[4-[(2-Hydroxyacetyl)amino]phenyl]arsonic acid, commonly known as Roxarsone, is an organoarsenic compound primarily used in veterinary medicine and agriculture as a feed additive for poultry and swine. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its application in animal feed. The compound contains an arsenic atom bonded to an aromatic ring, which contributes to its biological activity. Roxarsone has been studied for its potential to promote growth in livestock and improve feed efficiency, although concerns regarding arsenic accumulation in animal tissues and the environment have raised questions about its safety and regulatory status. The compound's structure includes functional groups such as an amino group and a hydroxyl group, which may influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. Due to its arsenic content, Roxarsone is subject to strict regulations in many countries, and its use has been scrutinized in light of potential health risks associated with arsenic exposure.
