Chemical compound
Dantron (INN), also known as chrysazin or 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone, is an orange-colored organic substance. Many structurally-related compounds are known.[1] In terms of its molecular structure, it is related anthraquinone by the replacement of two hydrogen atoms by hydroxyl groups (–OH). It is used in some countries as a stimulant laxative.
It should not be confused with ondansetron, an unrelated drug that was marketed in South Africa under the trade name "Dantron".
