The article presents brief information on recycling of drugs for malaria. Topics discussed include chemical recycling of quinine, synthetic blood-stage antimalarial acridines named Quinacrine, and synopsis of clinically relevant antimalarial 4-aminoquinolines. Also talks about computational studies on antimalarial classics and their analogues, and rescuing and repurposing drugs used in malaria such as antitumorals and antiretrovirals.
