The antiseptic nature of acriflavine is known from its uses in human medicine as a treatment for mouth and throat infections and for disinfecting wounds.
It is a deep yellow powder that dissolves easily in water and can be used to treat bacteria, fungi and particular parasitic infections.
It is absorbed through cell membranes where it reacts with DNA inside the cells. This disrupts the pathogen's ability to reproduce causing an accelerated death and preventing the spread of the infestation. It is still not clear why acriflavine has this effect on DNA within cells.
