Bioactivity | Tafenoquine Succinate (WR 238605 Succinate) is an 8-aminoquinoline. Tafenoquine is an anti-malarial prophylactic agent[1]. |
Target | Anti-malarial |
In Vivo | Tafenoquine exhibits no anti-malarial activity in CYP 2D knock-out mice when dosed at their ED100 values (3 mg/kg) established in WT mice. Tafenoquine anti-malarial activity is partially restored in humanized/CYP 2D6 knock-in mice when tested at two times its ED100 (6 mg/kg)[1]. |
