Bioactivity | Ethacridine lactate (Acrinol) is a widely used antiseptic and abortifacient. Ethacridine lactate is effective against Staphylococcus aureus and other gram-positive cocci. Ethacridine lactate is also a poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitor[1][2][3]. |
Target | poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) |
Invitro | Acrinol is effective against S. aureus including MRSA, with the MICs ranging from 100-200 μg/mL. The MIC of Acrinol for Eschericia coli is 200-800 μg/mL, and it is over 1,600 μg/mL for Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis[3]. |
In Vivo | Ethacridine lactate can be used for termination of pregnancy[1]. |
