About Proguanil Hydrochloride IP
We have earned our name as a renowned organization engaged in offering Proguanil Hydrochloride IP Chemicals. These are biguanide compound, metabolize in the body to form cycloguanil, an anti-malaria agent. To comply with set safety norms, we use finest quality compounds, sourced from trusted vendors. These chemicals are active against several protozoal species and are used in combination with atovaquone and chloroquine for the prevention and therapy of malaria. Proguanil Hydrochloride IP Chemicals inhibit the bifunctional dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) of plasmodium parasite. These chemicals are soluble in water; practically insoluble in chloroform and in ether.
