acriflavinium chloride
 Note: (2013-07-16) Note that the nomenclature is confusing: the British Pharmacopoeia uses the name acriflavinium chloride for this mixture of 3,6-diaminoacridine monohydrochloride and 3,6-diamino-10-methylacridinium chloride, although the same name, acriflavinium chloride, is the recommended International Nonproprietary Name for a mixture of 3,6-diaminoacridine dihydrochloride and 3,6-diamino-10-methylacridinium chloride hydrochloride. |
