Mono-, di- or tri-(X,Y-substituted-benzoyl) esters of 1,8,9-trihydroxyanthracene, wherein the anthracene moiety can be substituted by methyl at the 3-position, X is halogen, hydroxy, nitro, lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy, phenoxy, trifluoromethyl, lower-alkylcarboxy or lower-alkoxycarbonyl and Y is hydrogen or has the meaning given hereinabove for X, are prepared by reacting the appropriate 1,8,9-trihydroxyanthracene with the appropriate substituted-benzoic acid or functional derivative thereof, e.g., acid chloride, in an inert solvent, in the presence of a suitable basic catalyst, e.g., pyridine or triethylamine, and under an inert atmosphere. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising these esters are useful in treating dermatological conditions such as psoriasis and have the improvements of having substantially no undesirable staining and irritating properties.
