how impressed would people be if i could somehow draw the structure of quinine into blather. however! it has one of those two-headed rings so i give up. my organic chemistry book says one sentence about quinine- treatment for malaria, comes from cinchona bark. then it goes into the etymology of the word "malaria" Italian malo (bad) aria (air) bad air. but "actually malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite (Plasmodium species) transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito genus Anopheles. Millions of people are affected by this disease, which is responsible for a quarter of the deaths of African children between one and four years of age." they digressed from chemistry, but it was important. |
