In Vitro Quinine sulfate (150 μM, 30 min) inhibits the proliferation and cytostatic effects of DENV (Dengue virus) in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line[1]. Quinine sulfate (37.5-150 μM, 24 hours) significantly reduces viral DENV RNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line[1]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: Human hepatocarcinoma cell line(HepG2) Concentration: 150 μM Incubation Time: 30 min Result: Inhibited DENV virus replication with 19% yield compared to untreated. Reduced DENV-positive cells from 23.28% to 12.05% in a dose-dependent manner.
In Vivo Quinine sulfate (oral gavage, 12 or 15 mg/kg, every week, 16 weeks) has some tumor suppressing effect on skin cancer in Swiss albino mice[2]. Quinine sulfate (oral gavage, 10 mg/kg, everyday, 8 weeks) causes a decrease in the antioxidant defense system of rat testicular tissue such as SOD, CAT and GSH enzyme activity in male adult albino rats[3]. Animal Model: Swiss albino mice 7-8-weeks (weighing 24 g)[2] Dosage: 12 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; every week; 16 weeks Result: Resulted in a significant reduction in tumor size and weight at 12 mg/kg and little effect at higher dose of 15 mg/kg.
