Acedapsone is the INN for diacetyldapsone. It was synthesized and developed in 1937 by Ernest Fourneau and his team in the pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory of Pasteur Institute,[1] and it was marketed as Rodilone by the Rhône-Poulenc company.[2]
It is a long-acting prodrug of dapsone. It is used for treating leprosy.[3]
It crystallises as pale yellow needles from diethyl ether, and as leaflets from dilute ethanol. It is slightly soluble in water.
Synthesis
Acedapsone is conveniently prepared by acetylation of dapsone.
