Description

Iodoquinol is a quinoline derivative that has been shown to have antifungal properties in vitro. It is used to treat bowel disease and infectious diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis. Iodoquinol has also been shown to reduce the incidence of autoimmune diseases by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The mechanism of action for this drug is not well understood, but it is believed that it reacts with DNA and may inhibit the synthesis of proteins. It has also been shown to cause genotoxic effects in a model system by binding covalently to DNA, as well as benzalkonium chloride
