Quinacrine

Quinacrine is a medication originally developed as an antimalarial, used to treat malaria infections. It also has applications in treating certain inflammatory conditions and was historically used to treat conditions like lupus and some parasitic infections. Quinacrine works by interfering with the growth of parasites and modulating immune responses. However, due to potential side effects and the development of newer drugs, its use has become more limited. It is administered orally and requires careful medical supervision to manage its benefits and risks effectively.
