Carbarsone, or p-ureidobenzenearsonic acid, primarily functions as a parasite inhibitor with notable efficacy as an amebicide. Historically utilized in human and veterinary medicine, it has been incorporated into poultry and swine feed to mitigate conditions such as blackhead in turkeys, often in conjunction with antibiotics. Its relatively low acute toxicity has prompted research into its safety as a food additive, with studies indicating minimal carcinogenic risk under chronic ingestion, similar to other arsanilic acid derivatives. Carbarsone is metabolized to arsanilic acid, which has been investigated in high-dose studies in canine models.
