Acridone is an organic compound based on the acridine skeleton, with a carbonyl group at the 9 position.

Synthesis and structure

[edit]

The molecule is planar. Optical spectra reveal that the keto tautomer predominates in the gas-phase and in ethanol solution.[1]

Acridone can be synthesized by heating fenamic acid.[2]

History

[edit]

One of the first who were able to prove the compound's existence was Karl Drechsler, Student of G. Goldschmiedt, at the k.u.k. Universität Wien (Vienna, Austria) in 1914.[3]

Derivatives

[edit]

Acridone constitutes the scaffold of some synthetic compounds with diverse pharmacological activities. 3-Chloro-6-(2-diethylamino-ethoxy)-10-(2-diethylamino-ethyl)-acridone has shown promise as an antimalarial drug.[4][5]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
