Acridone

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

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

Acridone can be synthesized by heating fenamic acid.

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.

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.
