| CHINESE QUININE, FEVER FLOWER | Dichroa febrifuga | |
|
Synonyms: Actions: Antiarrhythmic (1; DAA); Anticancer (1; DAA); Antiinflammatory (1; X10661882); Antipyretic (f; DAA); Emetic (1; DAA); Expectorant (f; DAA); Hypotensive (1; DAA); Laxative (1; DAA); NO-Inhibitor (1; X9644055; X10661882); Parasiticide (1; WOI); Sialagogue (1; DAA); TNF-Inhibitor (1; X10661882). Indications: Arrhythmia (1; DAA); Bronchosis (f; DAA); Cancer (1; DAA); Cancer, stomach (1; DAA; JLH); Cardiopathy (1; DAA); Fever (f; DAA); Gastrosis (f; DAA); High Blood Pressure (1; DAA); Inflammation (1; X10661882); Malaria (1; DAA; X9644055); Palpitation (1; DAA); Parasite (1; WOI); Tachycardia (1; DAA). Dosage: Not covered (AHP; KOM; PH2). Though 100 times more antimalarial than quinine, gamma (not alpha, as reported in DAA) dichroine can cause diarrhea, GI hypersecretion, hemorrhage, hyperperistalsis, hypotension, tachypnea, and death (DAA). Gamma dichroine is highly emetic, causing hydropic hepatic degeneration. WOI ranks the alkaloids a bit different, re chick malaria; alpha-, beta-, and gamma-dichroine are, respectively, 1, 50, and 100 times as antimalarial as quinine (WOI). Febrifugine is 64 times as powerful. Leaf material shows more antimalarial material than roots., though leaves have lower alkaloid content. Other active principles may lie in the leaves. Contraindications: Not covered (AHP; KOM; PH2).
