Biological target:
Quinine interferes with Plasmodium falciparum’s ability to dissolve and metabolize hemoglobin. The precise mechanism of action of quinine is not fully understood. Quinine may target the malaria purine nucleoside phosphorylase enzyme.
In vitro activity:
Quinine can act as an agonist to activate the family of bitter taste G protein-coupled receptor family of proteins. Using normal mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) and non-invasive mammary epithelial (MCF-7) cell lines, this study investigated the effect of quinine in regulating Ras p21 and RalA activity. Although RalGDS was detected in MCF-10A and MCF-7 cells, it did not result in RalA activation upon Ras p21 activation with quinine. This suggests that the Ras p21-RalGDS-RalA pathway is not active in the MCF-10A cells. Reference: Mol Cell Biochem. 2023 May 2. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37131040/
In vivo activity:
Quinine is an anti-malarial agent belongs to the quinoline alkaloid that can inhibit angiogenesis. Vitamin C is also an important antioxidant and has been shown to reduce angiogenesis in tumor. 12 to 14 week old male albino rats were used for the study. The findings suggest that the activity of quinine with vitamin C synergism can greatly lower blood vessels growth in rat aorta rings and CAM assays. Quinine has an inhibitory effect on tumor growth and can be used alone or in combination with vitamin C.
