代谢
人们认为,刘易斯剂进入完整皮肤的水性介质后,会迅速水解为稳定、水溶性、但剧毒的衍生物2-氯乙烯砷氧化物(刘易斯剂氧化物)和盐酸。……刘易斯剂氧化物可能是刘易斯剂在组织中的主要代谢物和主要细胞毒性形式。还认为,高度活性的三价砷形式是所有砷化合物,包括刘易斯剂,对生物体系产生明显毒性的原因。
It is assumed that upon entry of Lewisite into the aqueous medium of the intact skin it is rapidly hydrolyzed to a stable, water-soluble, but highly toxic derivative 2-chlorovinylarsine oxide (Lewisite oxide) and hydrochloric acid. ... Lewisite oxide may be the principal metabolite and major cytotoxic form of Lewisite within tissues. It is also believed that the trivalent form of arsenic, which is highly reactive in biological systems, is responsible for the overt toxicity of all arsenicals, including Lewisite, to living systems.
