Manufacturing process of Quinine Sulfate

Before starting the process, ensure all equipment is clean, utilities are available, and raw materials and packing materials are verified.

Charge methanol in glass line reactor (GLR) and gradually add quinine base and sulfuric acid under stirring. Stir the reaction mass for 10-15 minutes and  maintained at 20–30°C for 30 minutes.

Take in-process sample from reactor and send in-process sample to quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by TLC. After result complies, cool the reaction mass up to 0–5°C for 40-50 minutes.

Further, centrifugation operation be carried out and wet cake wash with chilled solvent and wet material is dried in a vacuum dryer at 40–50°C. After drying.

Pack Quinine Sulfate in a clear poly bag and twist the mouth of the bag. Secure it with a PVC strip. Place this bag inside another poly bag, twist its mouth, and secure it with a PVC strip. Insert these bags into a triple-laminated aluminum bag and seal it properly. Finally, place the sealed aluminum bag in an HDPE container. Store Quinine Sulfate in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature below 30°C.

Applications of Quinine Sulfate

Therapeutic Uses
Treatment of Malaria
Quinine sulfate is primarily used to treat malaria, especially for severe cases or when other treatments are not effective. It works by killing the parasites that cause malaria in the red blood cells.
Treatment of Nighttime Leg Cramps
Quinine sulfate is sometimes used to relieve leg cramps, especially during sleep. It helps relax muscles and reduce the frequency and intensity of cramps.

Industrial Uses
Pharmaceutical Formulations
Quinine sulfate is used in tablet and oral suspension forms for the treatment of malaria and leg cramps. It is carefully dosed to ensure effective and safe treatment.
R&D and Formulation Development
In research, quinine sulfate is studied for its potential in new malaria treatments and its role in combination therapies to fight drug-resistant strains of malaria parasites.
