GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Acridine is a C13N tricycle compound comprising two benzene rings joined side by side by pyridine skeleton, which is structurally related to anthracene. The central CH group is replaced by nitrogen. Acridine and its derivatives are basic substances for the production of dyes. They are also used as a starting material for the production of some drugs. Acridine is used for vital and supravital staining for the detection of nucleic acids, differentiation of DNA and RNA, and detection of malignant cells. Acridine Orange (3,6-dimethylaminoacridine) is a nucleic acid-selective metachromatic stain useful for cell cycle determination.

Acridine can be obtained by extraction from coal tar and there are several synthetic methods are known (e.g. condensation of diphenylamine with carboxylic acid or chloroform. cyclisation of N-phenylanthranilic acid or 2-(phenylamino)benzoic acid with phosphoric acid, and Lehmstedt-Tanasescu reaction). Acridine and its homologues have antiseptic properties. They bind to DNA and RNA and cause the reversible inclusion of nucleic acids. Proflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) and acriflavine ( the mixture of 3,6-diaminoacridine chloride and 3,6-diamino-10-methylacridinium chloride) are examples used as an antiseptic agent. Acriflavine is a fluorescent dye used as a biological stain and as a local antiseptic agent for the skin and mucous membranes. It is known to inhibit mitochondriogenesis. Both acriflavin and proflavin having dibenzopyridine structure are used in the synthesis dyes and drugs.
