What is lucanthone?
Definition
ChEBI: Lucanthone is a thioxanthen-9-one compound having a methyl substituent at the 1-position and a 2-[(diethylamino)ethyl]amino substituent at the 4-position. Formerly used for the treatment of schistosomiasis. It is a prodrug, being metabolised to hycanthone. It has a role as a schistosomicide drug, an antineoplastic agent, a photosensitizing agent, an EC 5.99.1.2 (DNA topoisomerase) inhibitor, an EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor, a prodrug, an adjuvant and a mutagen.
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous route. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and SOx.
