A Comprehensive Monograph on Sodium Thiosulfate: From Chemical Commodity to Targeted Therapeutic Agent

I. Introduction and Executive Summary

Overview

Sodium Thiosulfate, with the chemical formula Na2​S2​O3​, is an inorganic salt that has traversed a remarkable path from a widely used industrial and chemical commodity to a critical, life-saving medication and a targeted therapeutic agent in modern medicine.[1] Historically known to photographers as "hypo" for its role in fixing photographic film, its applications have expanded into diverse fields, including water treatment as a dechlorinating agent and analytical chemistry as a titrant.[1] However, its most profound impact lies in its medical applications. For nearly a century, it has been a cornerstone in the treatment of acute cyanide poisoning, a role that cemented its place in emergency medicine.[3] More recently, rigorous clinical investigation has led to its approval by major global regulatory bodies for a highly specific and novel indication: the prevention of permanent, debilitating hearing loss (ototoxicity) in pediatric cancer patients undergoing cisplatin chemotherapy.[5] This evolution from a bulk chemical to a precision supportive care drug highlights a sophisticated understanding of its unique chemical reactivity and its translation into distinct, context-dependent pharmacological effects.
