• Isomeric SMILES: CC1=C/C(=C(\C2=CC=C(C=C2)N)/C3=CC(=C(C=C3)N)C)/C=CC1=N.Cl
• Indications: Carbol-fuchsin solution (Castellani’s paint) is an aqueous alcohol-acetone solution containing phenol (4.5 g/100 mL), resorcinol (10 g/100 mL), and basic fuschin (300 mg/100 mL). The basic fuschin appears as a dark purple liquid that appears red on the skin and can stain. It has local anesthetic, bactericidal, and fungicidal properties. It has also been reported to stimulate granulation and epithelization. It is applied topically in the treatment of subacute and chronic superficial fungal infection. It is particularly effective in intertriginous areas. Carbol-Fuschin is poisonous when ingested and is treated in the same manner as phenol or resorcinol poisoning.
