Described herein is anhydrous sodium thiosulfate, methods for synthesizing anhydrous sodium thiosulfate, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treating ototoxicity. Anhydrous sodium thiosulfate is synthesized from sodium sulfite, sulfur, and cetylpyridinium chloride. The anhydrous sodium thiosulfate is formulated into a pharmaceutical composition comprising a buffer and solvent. These compositions are useful for eliminating or reducing ototoxicity in pediatric patients receiving platinum based chemotherapeutics.

The invention relates to a process for preparing potassium thiosulfate, potassium sulfite or potassium bisulfite comprising the following steps: Step (1a): providing a potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate solution for neutralizing acid forming components such as dissolving SO.sub.2 or H.sub.2S; Step (1b): providing an SO.sub.2 contacting solution, containing at least some potassium sulfite or potassium bisulfite or potassium thiosulfate; Step (2): providing SO.sub.2 gas; Step (3): reacting these to absorb the SO.sub.2 gas and to form an intermediate reaction mixture comprising potassium sulfite, or potassium bisulfite or a mixture thereof, and optionally recovering the potassium sulfite, or potassium bisulfite or a mixture thereof, and/or optionally using steps 4 and 5; Step (4): adding sulfur or sulfide containing compound containing sulfur having the oxidation state of 0, 2 or of between 0 and 2 to the reaction mixture and optionally potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate, and reacting the mixture under suitable conditions to form potassium thiosulfate; and Step (5): recovering the potassium thiosulfate, and optionally concentrating the potassium thiosulfate.
