Cinchona bark is the bark of trees belonging to the Cinchona genus, which are native to South America. The bark contains several alkaloids, including quinine, quinidine, and cinchonine. These have been used for centuries to treat malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by a parasite transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Quinine, one of the primary alkaloids found in cinchona bark, is a potent antimalarial drug that works by disrupting the parasite’s ability to digest hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells.
In addition to its antimalarial properties, cinchona bark has also been used to treat covid, fever, digestive problems, hemorrhoids, influenza, varicose veins, leg and muscle cramps. Today, synthetic antimalarial drugs have largely replaced natural sources like cinchona bark in the treatment of malaria. The bark and its extracts are still used in traditional medicine and to make lotions to numb pain.
