Acetarsone is an organoarsenic compound. This allows the study of the chemical properties and reactivities associated with arsenic in an organic framework. Acetarsone may bind to protein-containing sulfhydryl groups forming As-S bonds. It is a member of acetamides and anilides. Acetarsone is the acetyl structural analog of 3-amino-4-hydroxy-phenyl-arsonic acid. According to one study, Its ionization constants are pK1 = 3.73, pK2 = 7.9, and pK3 = 9.3, with the second ionization step attributed to the phenolic proton. Acetarsone can stimulate cell proliferation at micromolar levels. It has the ability to permeate through intestinal epithelial cells.
