Description: Quinine is a natural cinchona alkaloid that has been used for centuries in the prevention and therapy of malaria. Quinine is also used for idiopathic muscle cramps. Quinine therapy has been associated with rare instances of hypersensitivity reactions which can be accompanied by hepatitis and mild...

Quinine is an alkaloid antimalarial agent that has MIC values ranging from 10 to 500 nM for 60 Thai isolates of P. falciparum. It inhibits hemozoin formation in purified trophozoites, leading to an increase in free heme, similar to the mechanism of action of chloroquine (Cay-14194). In mice, quinine reduces P....

Solid. Soluble in methanol. Because of its relatively constant and well-known fluorescence quantum yield, quinine is also used in photochemistry as a common fluorescence standard. It has been used for imaging of oxygen evolution and oxide formation. Chloride and bromide have been shown to quench fluorescence....
