Bithionol
Bithionol (Actamer) is a small molecule previously used in topical pharmaceuticals but withdrawn in 1967 due to its potent photosensitizing properties, which can induce severe skin disorders. It is now utilized in research, particularly in studies of photosensitization mechanisms and as an anthelmintic agent in experimental in vivo models.
