Usage:
Quinine is one of the oldest antimalarial drugs. At as early as the 15th century, the quinine-containing cinchona bark has been used extensively in the treatment of malaria with its antimalarial effect being similar to that of chloroquine that is through interfering with DNA synthesis effect. It is capable of inhibiting the erythrocytic stage of a variety of Plasmodium, being able to control the malaria symptoms. It also has certain killing effect on the gametes of vivax malaria and quartan malaria. However, it has no effect on the exoerythrocytic stage. Its major advantage is not easy to produce drug resistance, possibly due to that quinine binds the plasmodium DNA in a different way from chloroquine, so having no cross-resistance and can be used for the treatment of the infection of anti-chloroquine strains (especially Plasmodium falciparum). In addition, quinine can also exciting the uterus, inhibit the myocardium and have antipyretic analgesic effect. In addition to medicinal application, in analytical chemistry it can be used as the detection agent of bismuth, platinum and other metal ions and also be used for the separation agent of racemic organic acid.
Quinines use as an antimalarial agent spans several hundred years, but it has been replaced in recent years by other substances such as chloroquine. Because some Plasmodium strains have developed resistance to several malaria medications, quinine use is being revived. About 60% of quinine production is used for medicinal purposes, and the drug is available by prescription. In addition to its use as an antimalarial agent, quinine medications are used to treat leg cramps, muscle cramps associated with kidney failure, hemorrhoids, heart palpitations, and as an analgesic. At higher concentrations it is toxic and causes a condition known as cinchonism. Conditions associated with cinchonism include dizziness, hearing loss, visual impairment, nausea, and vomiting.
Nonmedicinal use of quinine, accounting for about 40% of its use, is primarily as a fl avoringagent in condiments and liqueurs. The most common food use of quinine is tonic water. Tonicwater originated in India where English colonists drank carbonated water mixed with quinineto prevent malaria. The bitter taste of quinine was often masked by mixing it with alcoholicbeverages; one result of this practice was the drink gin and tonic. Current Food and DrugAdministration regulations in the United States limit the amount of quinine in tonic water to83 parts per million (83 mg per liter). This level is signifi cantly less than that required for therapeuticpurposes, so the use of commercial tonic waters to combat malaria is not practical.
Primary alkaloid of various species of Cinchona (Rubiaceae). Optical isomer of Quinidine. Antimalarial; muscle relaxant (skeletal)
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.
antimalarial, skeletal muscle relaxant
Quinine is a flavorant naturally obtained from the cinchona tree. it is used as a bitter flavoring in beverages such as quinine water, tonic water, and bitter lemon. quinine sulfate and quinine hydrochloride are cleared for use as a flavor in carbonated beverages at levels less than 83 ppm.
Quinine occurs in the dried stems or rootbarks of cinchona (Cinchona ledgerianaMoens). It is used in the treatment of malaria.It is also used as an analgesic and antipyreticagent.
