Product Description
Mechanism of action
Carbarsone is an organoarsenical compound historically used as an antiprotozoal and anthelminthic agent. It interferes with parasite energy metabolism by disrupting sulfhydryl‑dependent enzymatic pathways, impairing ATP production and compromising cellular integrity.
Benefits and advantages
Used in protozoal‑metabolism studies, arsenical‑compound mechanism research, parasite‑redox pathway modelling and comparative antiprotozoal SAR investigations.
Side effects and risks
Risks include systemic arsenic toxicity, hepatotoxicity, neuropathy, GI effects and potential carcinogenicity. Handle only with strict heavy‑metal and toxic‑compound containment.
