Overview of Ethacridine Lactate Powder:
Ethacridine Lactate is the lactate salt form of α-ethoxy-6,9-diaminoacridine. On a dry basis, the purity of C₁₅H₁₅N₃O·C₃H₆O₃ must be at least 99.0%. This substance appears as a yellow crystalline powder, odorless with a characteristic bitter taste. It dissolves readily in hot water, is soluble in boiling anhydrous ethanol, shows limited solubility in water and ethanol, and is completely insoluble in ether.

Function of Ethacridine Lactate Powder:
Ethacridine Lactate is primarily recognized as a topical bactericidal preservative. Research in laboratory animals has demonstrated that this compound induces uterine contractions both in vitro and in vivo. It enhances the frequency, strength, amplitude, and baseline tone of contractions in uterine smooth muscle—with uterine responsiveness increasing proportionally to the stage of gestation.
First introduced in the early 1950s for mid-trimester pregnancy termination, its abortifacient action operates through multiple mechanisms. Beyond directly stimulating smooth muscle contraction, Ethacridine Lactate accelerates cellular degradation and necrosis of decidual tissue and placenta. This triggers the endogenous release of prostaglandins, which work in synergy to amplify contractions, simultaneously promoting cervical dilation and effacement. Complementing this, levels of key pregnancy-sustaining hormones—particularly progesterone and estrogen—progressively decline, weakening the physiological maintenance of pregnancy. The combined effect results in effective termination known as drug-induced abortion.
Applications of Ethacridine Lactate Powder:
Topical Antiseptic Use:
Commonly employed in the management of surgical wounds, skin infections, mucous membrane inflammations, and chronic ulcers. Particularly valuable in treating stasis (venous) eczema of the lower limbs. The aqueous solution is used for wound irrigation and dressings, while ointment preparations help control suppurative skin conditions such as infected dermatitis and abscesses.Mid-Trimester Labor Induction:
Recognized in clinical practice for second-trimester induction of labor.
Payment Options:
We accept T/T, Alibaba Trade Assurance, RMB, and other secure payment methods.
