QUICK LINKS

Quinine Dihydrochloride functions as an inhibitor of the hemozoin biocrystallization process in Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for causing malaria. Quinine Dihydrochloride exerts its mechanism of action by binding to the heme molecules produced by the parasite during hemoglobin degradation. By doing so, Quinine Dihydrochloride interferes with the formation of hemozoin, leading to the accumulation of toxic heme molecules within the parasite.
