Application

Quinine hemisulfate salt monohydrate has been used as a tastant for testing the saccharin and quinine consumption in wild-type or knock-in mice. It has been used for studying the toxicity of heme (FP)-complexes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potassium channel blocker. Antimalarial, anticholinergic, antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic agent; alkaloid originally isolated from the Cinchona family of South American trees. Inhibits mitochondrial ATP-regulated potassium channel. Used to study the metabolism of biocrystalized heme, hemozoin, in malarial parasites and to study the toxicity of heme (FP)-complexes.
Quinine hemisulfate is an alkaloid originally isolated from the Cinchona family of South American trees. It inhibits mitochondrial ATP-regulated potassium channel and posssess antimalarial, anticholinergic, antihypertensive and hypoglycemic properties.

In this study, we report the effects of the quinoline derivatives quinine, its optical isomer quinidine, and chloroquine on alpha9alpha10-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The compounds blocked acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked responses in alpha9alpha10-injected Xenopus laevis oocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, with

The mitochondrial ATP-regulated potassium (mitoK(ATP) channel has been suggested as trigger and effector in myocardial ischemic preconditioning. However, molecular and pharmacological properties of the mitoK(ATP) channel remain unclear. In the present study, single-channel activity was measured after reconstitution of the

GABA type A receptors (GABA(A)-Rs) are potential targets of ethanol. However, there are multiple subtypes of this receptor, and, thus far, individual subunits have not been definitively linked with specific ethanol behavioral actions. Interestingly, though, a chromosomal cluster of four

Coinfection can markedly alter the response to a pathogen, thereby changing its clinical presentation. For example, non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serotypes are associated with gastroenteritis in immunocompetent individuals. In contrast, individuals with severe pediatric malaria can develop bacteremic infections with NTS
