Solid
Clofazimine is 3-Isopropylimino-3,5-dihydro-phenazine in which the hydrogen at position 5 is substituted substituted by a 4-chlorophenyl group, and that at position 2 is substituted by a (4-chlorophenyl)amino group. A dark red crystalline solid, clofazimine is an antimycobacterial and is one of the main drugs used for the treatment of multi-bacillary leprosy. However, it can cause red/brown discolouration of the skin, so other treatments are often preferred in light-skinned patients. It has a role as a leprostatic drug, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a dye. It is a member of phenazines and a member of monochlorobenzenes.|Clofazimine is a highly lipophilic antimicrobial riminophenazine dye used in combination with other agents, such as [dapsone], for the treatment of leprosy. It was originally described in 1957 and was the prototypical riminophenazine dye - a bright-red dye that, in its clinical use, results in long-lasting discoloration of the skin and bodily fluids. Although it carries in vitro activity against other mycobacterium, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it is generally considered an ineffective treatment in comparison to classic tuberculosis treatments such as [rifampicin] and [isoniazid].|Clofazimine is an Antimycobacterial.|Clofazimine is a fat soluble, brick red dye that is used in combination with other agents in the therapy of leprosy. Clofazimine, by itself, has not been associated with serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy or to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Clofazimine is a phenazine dye with anti-mycobacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. The exact mechanism through which clofazimine exerts its effect is unknown. However, it binds preferentially to mycobacterial DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and cell growth. Clofazimine has a slow bactericidal effect on Mycobacterium leprae and is active against various other Mycobacteria.|A fat-soluble riminophenazine dye used for the treatment of leprosy. It has been used investigationally in combination with other antimycobacterial drugs to treat Mycobacterium avium infections in AIDS patients. Clofazimine also has a marked anti-inflammatory effect and is given to control the leprosy reaction, erythema nodosum leprosum. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1993, p1619)
