Metabolite Identification
Common NameAmsacrine
DescriptionAmsacrine, also known as MAMSA or amsacrinum, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acridines. These are organic compounds containing the acridine moiety, a linear tricyclic heterocycle which consists of two benzene rings joined by a pyridine ring. Amsacrine is a drug which is used for treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. Amsacrine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Amsacrine is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound.
