Pharmacological action

Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of formula C14H10, consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar.

Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes. Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue (400C500 nm peak) fluorescence

under ultraviolet radiation.1-Methylnaphthalene is an organic compound with the formula CH3C10H7. It is a colorless liquid. It is isomeric with

2-methylnaphthalene.
