Carbonyl sulfide (COS) [an industrial by-product] is acutely toxic to rats, with an LD50 of 22.5 mg/kg, i.p. COS is partly metabolized in vivo to H2S. Pretreatment of rats with acetazolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, reduced the blood levels of H2S and, concomitantly, decreased the toxicity of COS. NaNO2 pretreatment also protected animals against COS toxicity. Acetazolamide had no effect on H2S toxicity per se. COS is evidently metabolized to H2S by carbonic anhydrase. It is the H2S produced that is responsible for COS toxicity.
