Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Cinchona alkaloids, including quinine, may depress the hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, and the resulting hypoprothrombinemic effect may enhance the action of warfarin and other oral anticoagulants. In patients receiving these anticoagulants and concomitant therapy with quinine, the prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), or international normalized ratio (INR) should be closely monitored as indicated.

The pharmacokinetics of quinine was investigated in patients with acute Falciparum malaria treated with quinine alone or in the presence of doxycycline. Twenty six patients divided into two groups of equal number were enrolled in the study. In the absence of doxycycline, the volume of distribution of quinine (mean + or - standard deviation) was estimated to be 1.32 + or - 0.32 l/kg, and its clearance was 0.125 + or - 0.47 l/hr/kg, which was only in partial agreement with previously published data. No effect of doxycycline on the pharmacokinetics of quinine was observed.

Quinine is a substrate for and an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein, and has the potential to affect the transport of drugs that are P-glycoprotein substrates.

Quinine may affect the pharmacokinetics of drugs that are CYP2D6 substrates. There is evidence that quinine decreased the metabolism of desipramine (a CYP2D6 substrate) in patients who were extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers, but had no effect in patients who were poor CYP2D6 metabolizers. Although low doses of quinine (80-400 mg) did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of some other CYP2D6 substrates (debrisoquine, dextromethorphan, methoxyphenamine), it is possible that higher quinine doses (600 mg or more) may inhibit the metabolism of these and other CYP2D6 substrates (e.g., flecainide, metoprolol, paroxetine). Patients receiving quinine concomitantly with drugs that are CYP2D6 substrates should be monitored closely for adverse effects of these drugs.

It is usual for quinine in therapeutic doses to cause cinchonism; in rare cases, it may even cause death (usually by pulmonary edema). Quinine can worsen hemoglobinuria, myasthenia gravis and optic neuritis. It can cause paralysis if accidentally injected into a nerve, and is extremely toxic in overdose[Wikipedia]

There is little evidence that chronic quinine therapy is associated with elevations in serum enzymes, although it has not been carefully assessed. However, there have been several reports of acute hypersensitivity reactions to quinine that include hepatic involvement. The reactions usually arise after 1 to 2 weeks of therapy, but can appear within 24 hours of restarting quinine or with rechallenge. The clinical features are marked by fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diffuse muscle aches, arthralgias and high fever. Blood testing at an early stage shows increases in serum aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase levels as well as mild jaundice, which can deepen for a few days even after stopping quinine. The pattern of serum enzymes elevations is typically cholestatic or mixed. Rash is uncommon and eosinophilia is not typical, despite the presence of other signs of hypersensitivity (fever, arthralgias). Autoantibodies are not typically found. Liver biopsies usually show mild injury and small epithelioid granulomas, as are typically found in many organs during systemic hypersensitivity reactions. A similar clinical signature of liver injury occurs with quinidine, an optical isomer of quinine that is used predominantly as an antiarrhythmic.

EXPERIMENTAL: Quinine readily crosses the placenta is distributed into milk. In one study, quinine concentrations in placental cord blood and breast milk were approximately 32 and 31%, respectively, of maternal plasma quinine concentrations. The estimated total amount of quinine distributed into breast milk daily was less than 2-3 mg.

EXPERIMENTAL: Quinine is excreted into breast milk. Following 300 and 640 mg oral doses in six patients, the drug was detectable in milk up to 23 hours after a dose, with concentrations ranging from trace to 2.2 ug/mL.

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Quinine is a bulky, white, amorphous powder or crystalline alkaloid, used as medication: non-narcotic analgesics; antimalarial; central muscle relaxants. It is also used as flavor in carbonated beverages. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic shock, anaphylactoid reactions, urticaria, serious skin rashes, angioedema, facial edema, bronchospasm, and pruritus, have been reported with quinine. In addition, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (HUS/TTP), immune thrombocytopenic purpura, blackwater fever, disseminated intravascular coagulation, leukopenia, neutropenia, granulomatous hepatitis, and acute interstitial nephritis have been reported and may also be due to hypersensitivity reactions to the drug. Potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation, have been reported rarely during quinine therapy. At least 1 case of fatal ventricular arrhythmia has been reported in a geriatric patient with preexisting prolonged QT interval treated with IV quinine sulfate for Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Visual impairment can range from blurred vision and defective color perception, to visual field constriction and permanent blindness. Cinchonism occurs in virtually all patients with quinine overdose. There have been a large number of case reports of malformations following quinine ingestion in human pregnancy. Many of these pregnancies involved large doses of quinine used as an abortifacient. The most frequently reported abnormality following quinine exposure during early pregnancy is hypoplasia of the auditory nerve with resultant deafness. Other major malformations involving most organ systems have been reported also. However, the Perinatal Collaborative Study reported no association between first trimester exposure to quinine and birth defects. In general, there has been no proven association between quinine at doses used for malarial prophylaxis and an increased risk of malformations. Third trimester exposure to quinine does not appear to adversely affect uterine contractility. However, an increase in insulin secretion associated with hypoglycemia has been reported. Therefore, monitoring of blood or serum glucose levels during quinine therapy is advisable. Although the United States Food and Drug Administration banned its use for nocturnal leg cramps due to lack of safety and efficacy, quinine is widely available in beverages including tonic water and bitter lemon. Numerous anecdotal reports suggest that products containing quinine may produce neurological complications, including confusion, altered mental status, seizures, and coma, particularly in older women. ANIMAL STUDIES: Rabbits given 20 to 100 mg quinine hydrochloride/kg intravenously or intramuscularly 3 times a week for 10 weeks have been reported to show no ophthalmoscopic or histologic abnormalities in the fundus or optic nerve, and /another study/ similarly found no abnormality in most rabbits injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg/day for 21 to 27 days showed degeneration of rods and cones and vacuoles in the retinal ganglion cells. In animal developmental studies conducted in multiple animal species, pregnant animals received quinine by the subcutaneous or intramuscular route at dose levels similar to the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area (BSA) comparisons. There were increases in fetal death in utero in rabbits at maternal doses = 100 mg/kg/day and in dogs at = 15 mg/kg/day cochlea at maternal doses of 200 mg/kg corresponding to a dose level of approximately 1.4 times the MRHD based on BSA comparison. There were no teratogenic findings in rats at maternal doses up to 300 mg/kg/day and in monkeys at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day corresponding to doses approximately 1 and 2 times the MRHD respectively based on BSA comparisons. Quinine produces testicular toxicity in mice at a single intraperitoneal dose of 300 mg/kg, and in rats at an intramuscular dose of 10 mg/kg/day, 5 days/week, for 8 weeks. The findings include atrophy or degeneration of the seminiferous tubules, decreased sperm count and motility, and decreased testosterone levels in the serum and testes. Genotoxicity studies of quinine were positive in the Ames bacterial mutation assay with metabolic activation and in the sister chromatid exchange assay in mice. The sex-linked recessive lethal test performed in Drosophila, the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay, and the chromosomal aberration assay in mice and Chinese hamsters were negative.

Quinone is found in the bark of cinchona species (Rubiaceae)(1) native to Indonesia and Bolivia(2).

QUININE IS CHIEF ALKALOID OF CINCHONA, THE BARK OF CINCHONA TREE INDIGENOUS TO CERTAIN REGIONS OF SOUTH AMERICA ... BARK IS ALSO CALLED PERUVIAN, JESUIT'S OR CARDINAL'S BARK.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Following a double-blind, four-way crossover design, 32 healthy volunteers (20 males and 12 females) each consumed lactose placebo, or 80, 120 or 160 mg quinine HCl daily for 21 days. Before dosing and at regular intervals during dosing, blood and urine samples were collected and analysed for quinine HCl. Electrocardiography, heart rate, blood pressure, audiometry, peripheral field, funduscopy, colour vision, visual acuity, electronystagmography (ENG) and test for optokinetic nystagmus were all evaluated before dosing and at selected times during dosing. The results showed that daily consumption of up to 80 mg quinine HCl did not significantly alter physiological, ophthalmic or audiometric responses. ENG determination showed that 12.5% of volunteers given lactose placebo or 80 mg quinine HCl exhibited at least one transitory period of ocular motor oscillations. This phenomenon was observed in 18.8% (P < 0.05) of volunteers with a daily intake of 120 mg quinine HCl or more. However, there was not a significant dose-related correlation between nystagmus and daily intake of quinine HCl. Five volunteers consuming lactose placebo displayed an aberrant ocular flutter that decreased significantly (P < 0.05) as the daily intake of quinine HCl increased. One volunteer showed a change in perception of red/green colour vision after taking 160 mg quinine HCl for 21 days. This study demonstrated that the no-untoward-effect level of quinine HCl is at least 80 mg/day.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In 4 healthy adults receiving digoxin (0.5-0.75 mg daily) concomitantly with quinine (750 mg daily), a 33% increase in mean steady-state AUC of digoxin and a 35% reduction in steady-state biliary clearance of digoxin were observed compared to that observed in adults receiving digoxin alone. Plasma concentrations of digoxin should be closely monitored in patients receiving quinine and the digoxin dose adjusted, as necessary.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In a published study in 5 men receiving 600 mg of quinine TID for one week, sperm motility was decreased and percent sperm with abnormal morphology was increased; sperm count and serum testosterone were unaffected.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Audiometric changes following quinine administration were studied in healthy Caucasian subjects and patients suffering from falciparum malaria disease. Quinine-dihydrochloride was administered intravenously as a single dose of 300 mg to 12 healthy subjects and as multiple doses of 600 mg in 4 hr every 8 hr in 10 Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients. The hearing function was monitored by conventional and high frequency audiometry. In nine healthy subjects hearing loss was documented at 2-4 hr after infusion of Quinine-dihydrochloride at a mean maximal plasma quinine concentration of only 2 mg/L. In one healthy subject a persistent loss occurred of 20 dB at 14 kHz in one ear. In all malaria patients severe hearing losses and adverse effects related to ototoxicity were documented, but all the audiograms had returned to normal after 1 week and side effects disappeared. This study has shown that ototoxicity induced by quinine is almost completely reversible in healthy volunteers and in malaria patients.

Drug products containing certain active ingredients offered over-the-counter (OTC) for certain uses. A number of active ingredients have been present in OTC drug products for various uses, as described below. However, based on evidence currently available, there are inadequate data to establish general recognition of the safety and effectiveness of these ingredients for the specified uses: quinine is included in internal analgesic drug products.

Quinine sulfate alone or in combination with vitamin E has been present in over-the-counter (OTC) drug products for the treatment and/or prevention of nocturnal leg muscle cramps, i.e., a condition of localized pain in the lower extremities usually occurring in middle life and beyond with no regular pattern concerning time or severity. There is a lack of adequate data to establish general recognition of the safety and effectiveness of quinine sulfate, vitamin E, or any other ingredients for OTC use in the treatment and/or prevention of nocturnal leg muscle cramps. In the doses used to treat or prevent this condition, quinine sulfate has caused adverse events such as transient visual and auditory disturbances, dizziness, fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Quinine sulfate may cause unpredictable serious and life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions requiring medical intervention and hospitalization; fatalities have been reported. The risk associated with use of quinine sulfate, in the absence of evidence of its effectiveness, outweighs any potential benefit in treating and/or preventing this benign, self-limiting condition. Based upon the adverse benefit-to-risk ratio, any drug product containing quinine or quinine sulfate cannot be considered generally recognized as safe for the treatment and/or prevention of nocturnal leg muscle cramps.

Quinine is the chief alkaloid of cinchona, the powdered bark of the South American cinchona tree, otherwise known as Peruvian, Jesuit's, or Cardinal's bark.

Quinine, the first known antimalarial, is a 4-quinolinemethanol that has served as a model for the design of numerous antiplasmodial drugs. Its history began in mid-seventeenth century Peru when the Incas told the Jesuits of the medicinal properties of the bark of an evergreen mountain tree they called quina-quina (later called cinchona). The bark, when made into an aqueous infusion,was capable of curing malaria. The use of cinchona spread to Europe and the alkaloid from it, quinine, was isolated in 1820.
