Nat Prod Res. 2009;23(1):5-9. doi: 10.1080/14786410601129887.

Abstract

Acridines are well-known group of compounds with a wide variety of biological properties. We describe herein an expeditious approach to prepare anilinoacridine derivatives from mefenamic acid. It is the first report of a one-pot approach to anilinoacridines in good to excellent yields.
