Mefloquine (Mefloquin) is a blood schizonticide which inhibits hemozoin
formation, and is used as a phospholipid-interacting antimalarial drug.
Mefloquine is widely used in both the treatment and prophylaxis of
Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Mefloquine can induces oxidative stress
in vitro. Evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be
used as a therapeutic modality to kill cancer cell. Mefloquine inhibited
KvLQT1/minK channel currents with an IC50 value of approximately 1
μM. Mefloquine slowed the activation rate of KvLQT1/minK and more block
was evident at lower membrane potentials compared with higher ones.
