Product Description
Mechanism of action
Buparvaquone is a hydroxynaphthoquinone antiprotozoal agent structurally related to atovaquone. It inhibits the mitochondrial electron transport chain, targeting the cytochrome bc₁ complex in protozoal pathogens, leading to ATP depletion and cell death.
Benefits and advantages
Used in protozoal-infection research, mitochondrial-electron-transport studies, veterinary-pharmacology modelling, quinone-antiprotozoal SAR studies and drug-resistance analyses.
Side effects and risks
Risks include hepatotoxicity, GI discomfort, hypersensitivity and photosensitivity. Handle under antimicrobial and quinone-compound safety protocols.
