Acrinol - Acrinol (English spelling)

Japanese: アクリノール - あくりのーる(英語表記)acrinol
Acrinol - Acrinol (English spelling)

A germicidal disinfectant, also known as ethacridine lactate. Following the discovery of the antitrypanosomal drug acriflavine in 1917 from research into the germicidal action of acridine dyes, Acrinol, a less toxic version of acriflavine, was announced in 1919. The Bayer brand name Rivanol is the hydrochloride salt, but the Japanese Pharmacopoeia name Acrinol is the lactate salt, which dissolves easily in water. A yellow crystalline powder, it is usually used as a 0.1-0.2% aqueous solution for disinfection, or mixed into tincture oil or ointment.
