Description

Clioquinol is an antifungal drug and antiprotozoal drug that has been shown to inhibit the activity of protein kinase-3 and to promote apoptosis. This compound has also been found to improve iron homeostasis, which may be due to its ability to counteract the effects of oxidative stress on the mitochondria. Additionally, it has been shown to have anti-fungal properties against opportunistic fungal pathogens such as Candida albicans. Clioquinol is extracted from a plant called "Clioquinia rosea" and is produced by a chemical reaction with 2-chloroethanol.
