Application

Quinine hydrochloride dehydrate has been used for fluorescent in situ detection of quinine in cinchona bark using UV resonance raman spectroscopy. It has also been used as a actinometric system to measure the light-induced changes in ruthenium anticancer agent, NAMI-A.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Quinine is a very effective anti-malarial treatment but is considered toxic for routine treatment due to the development of drug resistance in the malarial parasites. It acts as blood schizonticide.Quinine reportedly blocks the membrane conductance of potassium in enteric neurons.
