  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Clofazimine is an organic compound with the formula C27H22Cl2N4 and an average molecular weight of 473.40 g/mol. Clofazimine belongs to the benzodiazines, a subclass of diazanaphthalenes within the organic compounds. It is classified as an organoheterocyclic compound.

This substance is found in or released from healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, specifically as antibiotics and drugs for the treatment of lepra. Recorded routes of exposure include oral and inhalation. In terms of biological activity, clofazimine has two recorded protein targets: Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 3 (KCNA3) and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), for which it acts as an antagonist or modulator.</description>
