Chloroquine

A 4-aminoquinoline antimalarial discovered in Germany in 1934: it is used to prevent and treat malaria, and beyond that also for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?Its name reveals its kinship with quinine, extracted in the 1820s from the bark of the cinchona tree. Soon after its discovery it was set aside for about ten years, because it was thought too toxic.
