antibacterial

The Uses of 9-AMINOACRIDINE

A MALDI matrix exhibiting low background and good sensitivity in the analysis of low molecular weight anions, such as metabolites, in negative mode

What are the applications of Application

9-Aminoacridine free base is a mutagenic fluorescent dye and an intracellular pH indicator

Definition

ChEBI: An aminoacridine that is acridine in which the hydrogen at position 9 is replaced by an amino group. A fluorescent dyd and topical antiseptic agent, it is used (usually as the hydrochloride salt) in eye drops for the treatment of superficial eye infections

brand name

Monacrin (Sterling Winthrop).

General Description

Yellow needles. Free soluble in alcohol.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

9-AMINOACRIDINE is a moderately strong base. Neutralizes acids to form salts plus water in exothermic reactions. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 9-AMINOACRIDINE are not available; however, 9-AMINOACRIDINE is probably combustible.

Purification Methods

It crystallises from EtOH or acetone and sublimes at 170-180o/0.04mm [Albert & Ritchie Org Synth Coll Vol III 53 1955, for hydrochloride, see below]. [Beilstein 22 H 463, 21 II 280, 21 III/IV 4174.]
