Description and Uses
9-Phenylacridine has antitumour activity. It can be used as a photosensitiser and can sensitise UVA-induced DNA damage in vitro and in cells. It also enhances cell killing by UVA. In addition. It is also used in photochemical research and as a raw material for organic synthesis.
Research has found that 9-phenylacridine (ACPH) exhibited anticancer activity in cell lines and in vivo animal models. Bioinformatics studies have indicated that it could have topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. It could also act as a PARP 1 inhibitor and was very effective in combination with cisplatin in cell line-based assays. ACPH also satisfied all criteria for a candidate drug from the Lipinski rule and showed good cell uptake. ACPH alone was effective in the A375 melanoma cell line. ACPH could be used as a promising new photosensitizer[1-2]. 9-Phenylacridine is the parent base of chrysaniline or 3,6-diamino-9- phenylacridine, the chief constituent of the dyestuff phosphine. It is commonly used in the electronics industry as a free radical photoinitiator, significantly improving photo speed.
