Sodium (Meta)Arsenite

Sodium arsenite has several applications across different sectors:

• Pesticide: Historically used as an herbicide and insecticide in agriculture.
• Preservative: Employed in hide preservation processes.
• Reducing Agent: Utilized in organic synthesis for reducing various compounds.
• Antiseptic: Used in some medicinal applications due to its antimicrobial properties.

Despite its effectiveness in these applications, the use of sodium arsenite has declined due to its toxicity and environmental concerns.

Sodium arsenite exhibits significant biological activity, primarily due to its toxicity. It can induce oxidative stress and disrupt cellular functions by interacting with thiol groups in proteins. This disruption leads to the inactivation of essential enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase. Moreover, sodium arsenite is known to induce the production of heat shock proteins and the formation of stress granules within cells, highlighting its role as a chemical stressor.
