Quinine bisulfate is a salt form of quinine, a natural alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is mainly used as an antimalarial agent, particularly effective against Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the most severe form of malaria. Quinine bisulfate works by interfering with the parasite’s ability to digest hemoglobin, leading to its death. Its therapeutic use is listed as antimalarials. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a natural source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Quinine hydrogen sulfate and Quinine hemisulfate salt monohydrate. Its PubChem CID is 11949689.
