paludrine hydrochloride

Proguanil hydrochloride (Chloroquanil) is a biguanide compound which metabolizes in the body to form cycloguanil, an anti-malaria agent.Upon hydrolysis, Proguanil hydrochloride is converted to its active cyclic triazine metabolite, cycloguanil, by a cytochrome P450 dependent reaction. Cycloguanil selectively inhibits the bifunctional dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase of plasmodium parasite, thereby disrupting deoxythymidylate synthesis and ultimately blocking DNA and protein synthesis in the parasite.

Proguanil (Chloroguanide) is a prophylactic antimalarial drug that acts primarily through its active metabolite, Cycloguanil, which inhibits the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme of Plasmodium falciparum, preventing the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines and inhibiting the growth and reproduction of the parasite.

Proguanil D6 is the deuterium labeled Proguanil, and is an agent of prophylactic antimalarial.

Proguanil-d6 HCl is a deuterated compound of Proguanil HCl. Proguanil HCl has a CAS number of 637-32-1.
