Properties and stability

Quinine crystallized in benzene is a needle-shaped crystal containing a solvent. It slowly loses the solvent in the air and becomes a tiny crystalline anhydrous substance.

Storage method

Brown glass bottle with light-sealed packaging. Store in low temperature and dry place.

Synthesis method

1.���The bark or root bark of the cinchona tree is cleaned of impurities, dried, crushed and evenly mixed with soda lime. Then repeatedly extract with petroleum ether, combine the extracts, add dilute sulfuric acid for extraction after clarification, and obtain quinine sulfate after the acid layer is concentrated and crystallized. The finished products are available in two forms: acidic quinine sulfate and neutral quinine sulfate. Acidic quinine sulfate is a salt formed by one molecule of sulfuric acid and one molecule of quinine. It has good water solubility and the aqueous solution is acidic. Neutral quinine sulfate is a salt formed by two molecules of quinine and one part of sulfuric acid. Its aqueous solution is neutral but has poor water solubility. Commonly used in medicine is acidic quinine sulfate.

Purpose

1. Quinine can inhibit the reproduction or kill the intraerythrocytic protozoa of falciparum malaria and is an important antimalarial drug. Quinine also inhibits myocardial contractility and increases uterine rhythmic contractions.
