Melarsonyl (Melarsonic acid) is an anthelmintic agent which can inhibit parasite potently.For acute infections produced by T. brucei brucei GVR, Potassium Melarsonyl exhibits trypanocidal activities. Potassium Melarsonyl (Trimelarsan) cures less than 50% mice at a dose of 25 μmol/kg for 4 consecutive days. At 60 μmol/kg, it cures all the mice in a chronic-infection model[1].
