Identification of Dimethylarsinous and Monomethylarsonous Acids in Human Urine of the Arsenic-Affected Areas in West Bengal, India
Abstract
A speciation technique for arsenic has been developed using an anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography/inductively coupled argon plasma mass spectrometer (HPLC/ICP MS). Under optimized conditions, eight arsenic species [arsenocholine, arsenobetaine, dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)), dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA(V)), monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)), arsenite (As(III)), and arsenate (As(V))] can be separated with isocratic elution within 10 min. The detection limit of arsenic compounds was 0.14-0.33 microg/L. To validate the method, Standard Reference Material in freeze-dried urine, SRM-2670, containing both normal and elevated levels of arsenic was analyzed. The method was applied to determine arsenic species in urine samples from three arsenic-affected districts of West Bengal, India. Both DMA(III) and MMA(III) were detected directly (i.e., without any prechemical treatment) for the first time in the urine of some humans exposed to inorganic arsenic through their drinking water. Of 428 subjects, MMA(III) was found in 48% and DMA(III) in 72%. Our results indicate the following. (1) Since MMA(III) and DMA(III) are more toxic than inorganic arsenic, it is essential to re-evaluate the hypothesis that methylation is the detoxification pathway for inorganic arsenic. (2) Since MMA(V) reductase with glutathione (GSH) is responsible for conversion of MMA(V) to MMA(III) in vivo, is DMA(V) reductase with GSH responsible for conversion of DMA(V) to DMA(III) in vivo? (3) Since DMA(III) forms iron-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) which causes DNA damage in vivo, DMA(III) may be responsible for arsenic carcinogenesis in human.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
