Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Acridan is a tricyclic heterocyclic compound with a central ring consisting of three carbons and a nitrogen atom. It is a parent compound for a variety of acridine derivatives, which exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Acridan itself is not typically found in nature, but it can be synthesized through various chemical reactions. One common method involves the reduction of acridine using reducing agents like sodium borohydride. Acridan derivatives have been extensively studied for their potential applications in medicine, including as anti-cancer agents, anti-bacterial agents, and anti-inflammatory agents. Some acridan derivatives have also been explored for their use as dyes and pigments due to their fluorescent properties. The study of acridan and its derivatives is driven by their potential medicinal and technological applications.'
