Quinine Sulphate (6119-70-6)

Quinine sulphate is a medication that has been used for centuries to treat malaria. It is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, which is native to South America. Quinine sulphate works by interfering with the growth and reproduction of the malaria parasites in the body. It does this by disrupting the parasite’s ability to make ATP, which is a molecule that provides energy for the parasite. Quinine sulphate is also thought to damage the parasite’s cell membrane, which can lead to the parasite’s death.

Quinine sulphate is an effective treatment for malaria, but it can also have side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. In some cases, quinine sulphate can also cause more serious side effects, such as liver damage and hearing loss. For this reason, quinine sulphate should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.

In addition to treating malaria, quinine sulphate is also used to treat nocturnal leg cramps. Nocturnal leg cramps are involuntary muscle contractions that occur in the legs while a person is sleeping. Quinine sulphate is thought to work by relaxing the muscles and preventing them from contracting. However, quinine sulphate is not a first-line treatment for nocturnal leg cramps, and it should only be used if other treatments have not been effective.
