==Overview==
There is limited information regarding <i>Patient Counseling Information</i> of {{PAGENAME}} in the drug label.
'''Arsenic trioxide''' is the most important commercial compound of [[arsenic]], and the main starting material for arsenic chemistry. It is the highly toxic byproduct of certain kinds of ore processing, for example gold mining.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nwt-tno.inac-ainc.gc.ca/giant/atg_e.html |title=Giant Mine - Northwest Territories Region - Indian and Northern Affairs Canada |accessdate=2007-08-28 |format= |work=
  }}</ref>


==Preparation==
<!--Precautions with Alcohol-->
* Burning [[arsenic]] in [[air]].
* [[Hydrolysis]] of [[arsenic trichloride]].
* Roasting of [[arsenide]] minerals. (Main industrial route)


==Chemical properties==
|alcohol=
Arsenic trioxide is an [[amphoteric]] oxide which shows a marked preponderance for its [[Acidic oxide|acidic]] properties. It dissolves readily in alkaline solutions to give [[arsenite]]s. It is much less soluble in acids, but will dissolve in [[hydrochloric acid]] to give [[arsenic trichloride]] or related species. It reacts with [[oxidizing agent]]s such as [[ozone]], [[hydrogen peroxide]] and [[nitric acid]] to give [[arsenic pentoxide]], As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>: the reaction with [[hydrogen peroxide]] can be explosive. It is also readily reduced to [[arsenic]], and [[arsine]] (AsH<sub>3</sub>) may also be formed.


==Molecular structure==
* Alcohol-{{PAGENAME}} interaction has not been established. Talk to your doctor about the effects of taking alcohol with this medication.
Tetrahedral molecules, As<sub>4</sub>O<sub>6</sub>, in α-form and in liquid and gas phases.


==Uses==
<!--Brand Names-->
* Starting point for the manufacture of arsenic-based pesticides .([[sodium arsenite]], [[sodium arsenate]], [[sodium cacodylate]]).
* Starting point for the manufacture of certain arsenic-based pharamaceuticals ([[Neosalvarsan]]) and veterinary products.
* Decolorizing agent for glasses and enamels.
* Preservative for wood.
* Hydrogen recombination poison for metallurgical studies.
* Starting point for the preparation of elemental [[arsenic]], arsenic alloys and [[arsenide]] [[semiconductors]].
* Use as a [[cytostatic]] in the treatment of refractory promyelocytic (M3) subtype of acute myeloid [[leukemia]]. The drug is available as Trisenox® ampules; each containing 10mg to be diluted for i.v. infusion.
* Arsenic trioxide is also used to treat leukemia in patients who have not responded to other medications.


==Medical applications==
|brandNames=
Arsenic trioxide under the trade name Trisenox (manufacturer: Cephalon) is a chemotheraputic agent of [[idiopathic]] function used to treat [[leukemia]] that is unresponsive to first line agents. It is suspected that arsenic trisulfide induces cancer cells to undergo [[apoptosis]].  Due to the toxic nature of arsenic, this drug carries significant risks.


The enzyme [[thioredoxin reductase]] has recently been identified as a target for arsenic trioxide.<ref name="pmid17640917">{{cite journal |author=Lu J, Chew EH, Holmgren A |title=Targeting thioredoxin reductase is a basis for cancer therapy by arsenic trioxide |journal=Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. |volume=104 |issue=30 |pages=12288-93 |year=2007 |pmid=17640917 |doi=10.1073/pnas.0701549104}}</ref>
* ®<ref>{{Cite web | title = | url = }}</ref>


==Toxicology==
<!--Look-Alike Drug Names-->
:''See also: [[arsenicosis]].''
Arsenic trioxide is readily absorbed by the digestive system: toxic effects are also well known after inhalation of the dust or fumes and after skin contact. Elimination is rapid at first (half-life of 1&ndash;2 days), by methylation to [[cacodylic acid]] and excretion in the urine, but a certain amount (30&ndash;40% in the case of repeated exposure) is incorporated into the bones, muscles, skin, hair and nails (all tissues rich in [[keratin]]) and eliminated over a period of weeks or months.


The first symptoms of acute [[arsenic]] poisoning by ingestion are digestive problems: vomiting, abdominal pains, diarrhea often accompanied by bleeding. Sub-lethal doses can lead to convulsions, cardiovascular problems, inflammation of the [[liver]] and [[kidneys]] and abnormalities in the coagulation of the blood. These are followed by the appearance of characteristic white lines (Mees stripes) on the nails and by hair loss. Lower doses lead to liver and kidney problems and to changes in the pigmentation of the skin.
|lookAlike=


Cases of acute arsenic poisoning are known after inhalation and after skin contact with arsenic trioxide. The first signs
* A® — B®<ref name="www.ismp.org">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = http://www.ismp.org | url = http://www.ismp.org | publisher =  | date =  }}</ref>
are severe irritation, either of the respiratory tract or of the exposed skin, followed by longer term neurological problems.
Even dilute solutions of arsenic trioxide are dangerous on contact with the eyes.


Chronic [[arsenic]] poisoning is known as [[arsenicosis]]: it is found after professional exposure (for example, in metal
<!--Drug Shortage Status-->
smelters), in populations whose drinking [[water]] contains high levels of arsenic (0.3&ndash;0.4&nbsp;ppm) and in patients
treated for long periods with arsenic-based pharmaceuticals.


Arsenic trioxide has been shown to be a human [[carcinogen]]. Studies on workers exposed in [[copper]] foundries in the U.S.,
|drugShortage=
Japan and Sweden indicate a risk of lung cancer 6&ndash;10 times higher for the most exposed workers compared with the
}}
general population. Long-term ingestion of arsenic trioxide either in drinking water or as a medical treatment can lead
to skin cancer. Reproductive problems (high incidence of miscarriage, low birth weight, congenital deformations) have also
been indicated in one study of women exposed to arsenic trioxide dust as employees or neighbours of a copper foundry.
