Chloroguanide

/ˌklɔːroʊˈɡwænɪd/ noun

Definition

A synthetic antimalarial drug containing chlorine and a guanide group, used especially as a preventive medication against malaria.

Etymology

From chloro- 'containing chlorine' + guanide, a chemical group. This drug was developed in the 1940s by German chemists searching for synthetic alternatives to quinine.

Kelly Says

Chloroguanide (also called proguanil) was a major breakthrough in antimalarial medicine because unlike quinine, which had to be extracted from bark, it could be synthesized in laboratories, making it affordable enough to help millions of people in tropical regions.
