Inproquone

Description:
Inproquone, with the CAS number 436-40-8, is a synthetic organic compound primarily recognized for its role as an antimalarial agent. It belongs to the class of quinones, which are characterized by a six-membered aromatic ring containing two carbonyl groups. Inproquone exhibits a range of biological activities, particularly in inhibiting the growth of Plasmodium species, the parasites responsible for malaria. The compound is typically presented as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, which facilitates its use in pharmaceutical formulations. Its mechanism of action involves interference with the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of the parasites, leading to their death. Inproquone's efficacy and safety profile have been subjects of research, particularly in the context of drug resistance in malaria treatment. As with many chemical substances, handling Inproquone requires adherence to safety protocols due to potential toxicity and environmental considerations.
