Inorganic, lyophilized arsenic trioxide, when placed in solution, is immediately hydrolyzed to arsenous acid - this appears to be the pharmacologically active species of arsenic trioxide. Further metabolism involves the oxidation of arsenous acid to arsenic acid, and an oxidative methylation of arsenous acid to monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) by methyltransferases in the liver. Both MMA and DMA have relatively long half-lives and can accumulate following multiple doses, the extent of which depends upon the dosing regimen in question.
CHEMICAL SPECIATION STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT DIMETHYLARSINIC ACID & METHANEARSONIC ACID ARE PRIMARY FORMS OF ARSENIC PRESENT IN URINE OF HUMANS EXPOSED TO ... ARSENIC TRIOXIDE BY INHALATION.
Urinary profiles of arsenic smelter workers showed that dimethylarsenic acid was the major species followed by methyl arsenic, trivalent arsenic, and pentavalent arsenic.
Urinary concentrations of the four arsenic species, pentavalent (As(V)) and trivalent (As(III)) inorganic arsenic, monomethylarsonic acid (MMAA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMAA), were followed for several days subsequent to the acute intoxication of two human subjects by arsenic trioxide and sodium orthoarsenate, respectively, in unsuccessful suicide attempts. Total arsenic concentrations ranged from 1.6 to 18.7 mg/1. The increasing predominance of the less toxic methylated species, especially dimethylarsinic acid, after 3 or 4 days supports the concept of methylation as a natural detoxification mechanism as part of an overall reduction/methylation sequence involved in the biotransformation of inorganic arsenic by the human body. However, the additional possibility of oxidation of As(III) to As(V) in vivo under extreme immediate postingestion conditions is suggested by initial high urinary As(V), As(III), monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid in both cases probably reflect species dependent differences in rates of direct elimination and reactivity with tissues as well as the efficiency of methylation.
Rat liver cytosol inactivates inorganic arsenic through methylation; S-adenosylmethionine is the methyl group donor and reduced glutathione is required for full activity. ... Pathway involves the formation of a monomethylated metabolite which is either rapidly further methylated into a dimethylated derivative or is spontaneously oxidized into monomethylarsinic acid. The dimethylated metabolite gives rise to dimethylarsinic acid. The first methylation reaction is rate limiting, can be stimulated by glutathione and is catalyzed by an enzyme different from that which transfers the second methyl group. The latter is sensitive to inhibition by inorganic arsenic. ... A large excess of thiol groups may prevent the methylation reactions probably by decreasing the amount of free trivalent arsenic.

◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Most sources consider breastfeeding to be contraindicated during maternal antineoplastic drug therapy. It might be possible to breastfeed safely during intermittent therapy with an appropriate period of breastfeeding abstinence; the manufacturer recommends an abstinence period of 1 week after the last dose. Chemotherapy may adversely affect the normal microbiome and chemical makeup of breastmilk. Women who receive chemotherapy during pregnancy are more likely to have difficulty nursing their infant.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants:Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk:A telephone follow-up study was conducted on 74 women who received cancer chemotherapy at one center during the second or third trimester of pregnancy to determine if they were successful at breastfeeding postpartum. Only 34% of the women were able to exclusively breastfeed their infants, and 66% of the women reported experiencing breastfeeding difficulties. This was in comparison to a 91% breastfeeding success rate in 22 other mothers diagnosed during pregnancy, but not treated with chemotherapy. Other statistically significant correlations included: 1. mothers with breastfeeding difficulties had an average of 5.5 cycles of chemotherapy compared with 3.8 cycles among mothers who had no difficulties; and 2. mothers with breastfeeding difficulties received their first cycle of chemotherapy on average 3.4 weeks earlier in pregnancy. Of the 9 women who received a fluorouracil-containing regimen, 8 had breastfeeding difficulties.

obtained for arsonoacetic acid, As(CH2COOH)O3H2, and its barium and sodium salts. The X-ray crystalstructure of the free acid is isomorphous with phosphonoacetic acid. Reduction gave the As(I) compound arsenoacetic acid, (AsCH2COOH)n which was shown by ESI-MS to contain cyclic species based on As–As bonds, with n mainly 3–6. The X-ray crystalstructure of the hexamer was determined as the pyridine solvate
Synthesis and Characterization of the New Series of Chromium−Group 15 Hydride Complexes [Et<sub>4</sub>N]<sub>2</sub>[HE{Cr(CO)<sub>5</sub>}<sub>3</sub>] (E = As, Sb)
The new series of trigonal-pyramidal chromium complexes [HECr(CO)5}3]2- (E = As (Ia), Sb (Ib)) were obtained from the reactions of E2O3 (E = As, Sb) with Cr(CO)6 in concentrated KOH methanolic solution. These are the first examples of group 6 complexes containing E−H fragments (E = As, Sb), and the hydrogens are shown to be more hydridic than those in the related ironcomplexes due to the more electropositive

Colorless, transparent single crystals of the lanthanumoxoarsenate(III) La[AsO3] emerged after exposing an equimolar mixture of La2O3 and As2O3 to high pressure (11.5 GPa) and high temperature (1000 °C). The air- and water-stable compound crystallizes isotypically with K[ClO3] and thus can be described in the monoclinic space group P21/m with the lattice constants a = 442.91(4), b = 531.40(5), c =
