Pharmacology
Quinine is believed to interfere with protein metabolism in malarial parasites, and it also inhibits their nucleic acid synthesis. It is a highly active blood schizonticide, which means it suppresses the asexual cycle of development of the parasites inside the erythrocytes. Quinine works both as a suppressive drug and in the overt clinical attack of malaria.
