| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Febrifugine is a quinazolinone alkaloid originally isolated from D. febrifuga that has antimalarial activity.1,2 It reduces parasitemia and decreases mortality in mice infected with the P. berghei strain NK65 when administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg per day beginning prior to or on the day of infection.3 | [Uses]
Febrifugine is a quinazoline alkaloid with significant antimalarial and anticancerous efficacy. Febrifugine is an NRF2 inhibitor, that works with halofuginone for the treatment of chemo- and radio-resistant forms of cancer. Febrifugine analogs also functions as antimalarial, anticancer agents and in the prevention of chicken coccidiosis. | [storage]
