Arsthinol (INN) is an organoarsenic compound with the formula HOCH2CHCH2S2AsC6H3(OH)NHCOCH3. A antiprotozoal agent, it was first reported in 1949. It arises by the reaction of acetarsol with 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (British anti-Lewisite) [2] and has been demonstrated to be effective against amoebiasis and yaws. It was marketed a few years later by Endo Products (Balarsen, Tablets, 0.1 g). [3]
Among trivalent organoarsenicals, arsthinol was considered very well tolerated. [4] Recently, it was studied for its anticancer activity. [5] [6]
For Arsthinol the hydrogen bond donor count of 3, a hydrogen bond acceptor count of 5, a complexity of 308, and contains no isotope atoms. It is chiral but marketed as the racemate. [7]
