CAS 98-72-6

Nitarsone

Description:

Nitarsone, with the CAS number 98-72-6, is an organoarsenic compound primarily used as a veterinary drug and feed additive in livestock, particularly in poultry and swine, to promote growth and prevent disease. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which facilitates its incorporation into animal feed. Nitarsone functions as an antimicrobial agent, targeting various pathogens, and has been associated with improved feed efficiency. However, due to concerns regarding arsenic toxicity and its potential environmental impact, the use of nitarsone has been subject to regulatory scrutiny. In terms of chemical structure, it contains arsenic, nitrogen, and oxygen, which contribute to its biological activity. Safety measures are essential when handling nitarsone, as arsenic compounds can pose health risks to humans and animals. Overall, while nitarsone has utility in agriculture, its use is increasingly being evaluated in light of health and environmental considerations.

Nitarsone

CAS: 98-72-6

Nitarsone is a compound that belongs to the group of antimicrobial agents. It is a white, odorless crystalline powder with a melting point of 235°C. Nitarsone has been shown to inhibit the growth of Histomonas and other protozoa by inactivating their enzymes. The compound is also an animal feed supplement that helps prevent liver lesions in pigs. Nitarsone has shown antimicrobial activity against a number of bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium. Nitarsone binds reversibly to the enzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase (PAD), which catalyzes the conversion of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) to pyridoxamine 5'-
