Pharmacokinetic and Genomic Effects of Arsenite in Drinking Water on Mouse Lung in a 30-Day Exposure
Dose-Response, 2015 The 2 objectives of this subchronic study were to determine the arsenite drinking water exposure dependent increases in female C3H mouse liver and lung tissue arsenicals and to characterize the dose response (to 0, 0.05, 0.25, 1, 10, and 85 ppm arsenite ...

Critical evaluations of different aspects involved in preparation of Hartala bhasma
International Journal of Ayurveda Research, 2023 Arsenic trisulfide, known as Hartala (~Orpiment), is being used as medicine since the time of Hippocrates. However, the use of arsenicals in modern medicine is constrained due to toxicology concerns. Ayurveda has used orpiment as medicine since 2000 B.C.

The functions of crucial cysteine residues in the arsenite methylation catalyzed by recombinant human arsenic (III) methyltransferase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Arsenic (III) methyltransferase (AS3MT) is a cysteine (Cys)-rich enzyme that catalyzes the biomethylation of arsenic. To investigate how these crucial Cys residues promote catalysis, we used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass
