Quinine

Overview:

Quinine
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Quinine is used parenterally to treat life-threatening infections caused by chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Quinine acts as a blood schizonticide although it also has gametocytocidal activity against P. vivax and P. malariae. Because it is a weak base, it is concentrated in the food vacuoles of P. falciparum. It is thought to act by inhibiting heme polymerase, thereby allowing accumulation of its cytotoxic substrate, heme. As a schizonticidal drug, it is less effective and more toxic than chloroquine. However, it has a special place in the management of severe falciparum malaria in areas with known resistance to chloroquine. For the treatment of malaria and leg cramps

Mechanism Of Action:
The mechanism of action of Quinine is not completely clear. This is thought to inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glycolysis in Plasmodium falciparum and bind with hemazoin in parasitized erythrocytes.
