Schizontocidal (Antimalarial) agent (Schiwnticide)

Schizontocidal (antimalarial) drugs are a group of drugs that are used to treat malaria. They work by killing the schizont, a stage of the life cycle of the malaria parasite (genus Plasmodium) that reproduces in liver cells and red blood cells.

Schizontocidal drugs suppress the reproduction of the parasite, preventing its further spread in the human body. These include drugs such as chloroquine, mefloquine, artemisinin-based combinations and others. They are an important component of the treatment of all forms of malaria.

When used correctly, schizonticidal drugs effectively suppress the parasite and relieve the symptoms of the disease. However, malaria parasites can develop resistance to these drugs, so their use requires regular monitoring of susceptibility and strict adherence to dosing regimens. It is also important to combine schizontocidal therapy with other antimalarials to prevent relapses.



A schizonticide (antimalarial) agent is any substance that destroys schizonts. Schizonts are a special developmental stage of parasitic protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that cause malaria. At this stage, multiple divisions of the parasite inside the red blood cells occur.

Schizontocidal drugs are used to treat and prevent malaria. They suppress the proliferation of pathogens in the blood, thereby interrupting the development of the disease.

Schizontocidal drugs include antimalarials such as chloroquine, mefloquine, artemisinin and its derivatives. They act at different stages of the Plasmodium life cycle, blocking parasite protein synthesis or disrupting heme detoxification.

Thus, schizontocidal drugs are an important component of malaria therapy, allowing them to effectively suppress the reproduction of malarial plasmodia in the human body. Their use saves millions of lives in areas where this dangerous disease is widespread.



A schizonticide (antimalarial) is any substance that is used to kill schizonts, the developmental stage of the Plasmodium malaria parasite.

Schizonts are formed as a result of multiple divisions of merozoites within red blood cells. They contain thousands of new merozoites,
