Isopentaquine is a synthetic antimalarial drug that was initially developed in the 1960s. It is a member of the 4-aminoquinoline class of antimalarials, which also includes chloroquine and amodiaquine. Isopentaquine is a potent inhibitor of the parasite's heme polymerase enzyme, which is essential for the parasite's survival. In preclinical studies, isopentaquine has demonstrated activity against both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly species of malaria parasite. Its long half-life and the ability to be dosed once monthly make it particularly attractive for treatment and prevention. Isopentaquine is currently being studied in clinical trials as a potential treatment for malaria. Researchers are exploring its potential use in combination therapies, as well as its potential for the development of new, more effective antimalarial drugs.'
