Description:Cacodylic acid is a white to brown crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It has been used as an analytical reagent, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitor, and skin cancer treatment. Cacodylic acid inhibits the activity of the bacterial enzyme activities in humans and other mammals. The mechanism of action of cacodylic acid is not completely understood but it appears that it binds to inorganic iron and blocks its availability for use by bacterial enzymes such as dihydropteroate synthase, which is required for DNA synthesis. This leads to cell death. Cacodylic acid has also been shown to inhibit the growth of human HL-60 cells in vitro, suggesting that it may have carcinogenic potential.
