Clofazimine: A fat-soluble riminophenazine dye used for the treatment of leprosy. It has been used investigationally in combination with other antimycobacterial drugs to treat Mycobacterium avium infections in AIDS patients. Clofazimine also has a marked anti-inflammatory effect and is given to control the leprosy reaction, erythema nodosum leprosum. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1993, p1619)
clofazimine : 3-Isopropylimino-3,5-dihydro-phenazine in which the hydrogen at position 5 is substituted substituted by a 4-chlorophenyl group, and that at position 2 is substituted by a (4-chlorophenyl)amino group. A dark red crystalline solid, clofazimine is an antimycobacterial and is one of the main drugs used for the treatment of multi-bacillary leprosy. However, it can cause red/brown discolouration of the skin, so other treatments are often preferred in light-skinned patients.

| "The multidrug resistance (MDR)-neutralizing and cytotoxic properties of 16 novel tetramethylpiperidine (TMP)-substituted phenazines were compared with those of clofazimine and B669 using a P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-expressing undifferentiated, human leukemia cell line (K562/MMB)." | 3.69 | Novel tetramethylpiperidine-substituted phenazines are potent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein activity in a multidrug resistant cancer cell line.
