chrysarobin

Botanicalexperimental

Chrysarobin was originally extracted from Goa powder, a substance deposited in the wood of Andira Araroba, Aguiar (Nat. Ord.—Leguminosae). Chrysarobin (1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-9-anthrone) has enol tautomer of 1,8,9-trihydroxy-3-methyl-anthracene. Chrysarobin exerts antipsoriatic action. The use of chrysarobin has a number of quite serious disadvantages, not the least of which is that it can result in severe staining and irritation of the skin. Chrysarobin is an anthrone skin tumor promoter. — NCATS
