Abstract: Exposure to environmental toxicants such as Arsenic (As) can result in As-induced alterationsin immune regulators. Consequently, people who are more prone to viral infections like influenza A orB, H1N1, SARS CoV (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus), and SARS CoV2 may developa susceptibility to immune responses in their lungs because our previous reports delineated the abilityof QIAPI 1 ® , a melanin precursor, to dissociate water molecules with simultaneous therapeutic efficacyagainst central nervous system (CNS) diseases, retinopathy, and As-induced renal toxicity. Consideringthe commonalities of lung pathology of SARS CoV and As-induced toxicity, the aim of this study is todecipher the efficacy of QIAPI 1 ® against pentavalent As-induced lung toxicity by examining the pulmonarypathology. Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining was used for ascertaining the lung pathologyin Wistar rat models. Animals were divided into 3 groups: control group, group treated with pentavalentAs, and a group treated with pentavalent As and QIAPI 1 ® . There were no significant changes in lunghistopathology in the control group as indicated by intact morphology. The As-treated group revealeddamage to the histoarchitecture with pulmonary edema, interstitial fibrosis, diffuse alveolar damage, Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP)-lesions, formation of hyaline membrane, multinucleatedgiant pneumocytes, atypical pneumocytes, inflammatory cell infiltration, and interstitial edema.The group treated with As and QIAPI 1 ® significantly associated with mitigated histological signs oflung inflammation induced by Arsenic. Therefore, QIAPI 1 ® can be recommended as antagonistic to Asinducedlung toxicity. In conclusion, this model could be preferred as a hypothetical model to examinethe efficacy of QIAPI 1 ® in SARS CoV2-induced pulmonary damage. Future studies are warranted todelineate the efficacy of QIAPI 1® against SARS CoV and SARS CoV2 lung pathology.
