Quinine hydrochloride dihydrate (150 μM, 30 min) inhibits the proliferation and cytostatic effects of DENV (Dengue virus) in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line[1].
Quinine hydrochloride dihydrate (37.5-150 μM, 24 hours) significantly reduces viral DENV RNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Quinine hydrochloride dihydrate purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: J Mol Cell Biol. 2025 May 22;16(11):mjae051. [Abstract]
Quinine (0-40 μM) potentiated high glucose (25 mM)-evoked insulin secretion in a dose-dependent manner at 5–100 μM. However, under low-glucose (2 mM) conditions, quinine induced insulin secretion only at concentrations of 50–100 μM; without the addition of glucose, 5 μM quinine alone was not sufficient to stimulate insulin secretion.
