Quinine Hydrochloride is an alkaloid originally isolated from the Cinchona family of South American trees. It is an antimalarial agent, anticholinergic, antihypertensive and hypoglycemic agent.
Quinine is an antimalarial agent, anticholinergic, antihypertensive and hypoglycemic agent; also used as a resolving agent. A potassium channel blocker. Also used as a flavoring agent in carbonated beverages, a skeletal muscle relaxant and an antiprotozoal agent for fish. A chiral catalyst used in highly enantioselective [2+2] cycloadditions. A resolving agent for carboxylic acids. Catalyzes the kinetic resolution of furanones.
