Quinine is an alkaloid found in the bark of various species of the quinine tree. Quinine hydrochloride contains 82 % quinine - base. The action of quinine on the organism is versatile, manifested mainly with changes in the functions of the CNS, cardiovascular system and uterine muscles. By inhibiting the thermoregulatory centers, it decreases body temperature in febrility. It reduces the excitability of the cardiac muscle and prolongs the refractory period. It manifests an anti-arrhythmic effect. It intensifies uterine contractions. The drug can cross the placenta and penetrate into the fetus, it stimulates intestinal peristalsis and can induce meconium excretion. It is used in the treatment of malaria (very rarely at present) due to its schizonticide action. It is eliminated through the proximal renal tubules.
