Acridine carboxamide is a chemotherapy agent that is being studied in the treatment of cancer. It belongs to the family of drugs called topoisomerase inhibitors.^{[citation needed]}

While the agent was well tolerated in Phase II clinical trials, it did not show efficacy when tested against various types of cancers.^[1][2][3][4]
