| 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 |
| 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. |
