Tebuquine

Tebuquine is an investigational antimalarial agent effective against P. falciparum in vitro with a chloroquine-like action, though its in vivo mechanism differs, likely involving a metabolite targeting parasite mitochondria. It is active against both pre-erythrocytic and erythrocytic stages in rodent models, making it relevant for studying novel antimalarial pathways and mitochondrial function in parasitology research.
