Aminoacridine (known also as proflavine or 3,6-diaminoacridine) is an acridine derivative that was historically used as an antiseptic for the treatment of wounds and for topical infection control. It is primarily a topical antiseptic with bacteriostatic effects. Aminoacridine is largely obsolete today and is not widely approved for systemic therapeutic use.
No modern human pharmacokinetic studies are available for aminoacridine. No published data in peer-reviewed literature were identified reporting quantitative pharmacokinetic parameters (bioavailability, clearance, compartmental models, etc.) for systemic administration of aminoacridine in humans.
