Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/uk/proflavine-cream-0-1-leaflet.html | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22594981 | https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02029937

Proflavine is an acriflavine derivative used as a topical disinfectant agains gram-positive bacteria. Proflavine is toxic and carcinogenic in mammals and so it is used only as a surface disinfectant or for treating superficial wounds. Proflavine acts by interchelating DNA (intercalation), thereby disrupting DNA synthesis and leading to high levels of mutation in the copied DNA strands. This prevents bacterial reproduction. Proflavine was investigated for photodynamic theraphy of herpes but was discontinued due to several presentations of post-treatment Bowen's disease and higher lesion recrudescence periods. Proflavine is also investigated as a topical contrast agent for imaging and diagnosis of esophageal, oral, colon, cervical, uterine cancer and polyps.

Sample Use Guides

Proflavine cream 0.1% is indicated for topical use, to be applied to the affected part 2 - 3 times daily.
Route of Administration: Topical
The minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of proflavine with respect to various E.coli strains was determined by the twofold dilution method with LB agar containing the proflavine. Bacterial growth was recorded after 18 to 24 h of incubation at 37°C. Proflavine was effective in supressing bacterial growth at 6.5-12.5 ug/mL.
