NameProguanil
Groups approved
DescriptionProguanil is a prophylactic antimalarial drug, which works by stopping the malaria parasite, _Plasmodium falciparum_ and _Plasmodium vivax_, from reproducing once it is in the red blood cells. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme, dihydrofolate reductase, which is involved in the reproduction of the parasite.
