Acedapsone (INN) is an antimicrobial drug, which also has antimalarial activity.
Acedapsone, or 1399 F, is a diacetyl compound, derived from dapsone. It was synthesized and developed in 1937 by Ernest Fourneau and his team in the pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory of Pasteur Institute, and it was marketed as Rodilone by the Rhône-Poulenc company.
