PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
(-)-(11S,2'R)-erythro-mefloquine is an optically active form of [2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]-(2-piperidyl)methanol having (-)-(11S,2'R)-erythro-configuration. An antimalarial agent, used in racemic form, which acts as a blood schizonticide; its mechanism of action is unknown. It has a role as an antimalarial. It is an enantiomer of a (+)-(11R,2'S)-erythro-mefloquine.
