Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23841224

Aminacrine has long been known to be a potent frameshift mutagen in viruses and bacteria. It is one in a general class of aminoacridine dyes that bind to DNA and possess mutagenic activity. Aminacrine is used clinically as a topical antiseptic. A part from therapeutic use, aminacrine is also introduced as a matrix for negative mode matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI).
