Amodiaquine was first synthesized in 1948 [39]. It is mainly used for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria, when used in combination with artesunate and is commonly sold under the trade name Camoquine® or Coarsucam™ [40]. Similar to chloroquine, amodiaquine’s MoA, is thought to involve complexation with haem and inhibition of haemozoin formation [41].
