Description

Tilbroquinol is a 8-hydroxyquinoline compound exerting antiprotozoal actions. The mechanism of action for 8-hydroxyquinolines remains unknown, although it has been proposed that these compounds chelate metals necessary for multiple enzymatic catalysis reactions, including DNA synthesis. Tilbroquinol in combination with tiliquinol (INTETRIX capsules) is indicated for the treatment of intestinal amebiasis. Some countries (France, Saudi Arabia) have withdrawn from the market products containing tilbroquinol because of the hepatoxicity.
