Rose and his colleague Frank Curd decided to concentrate on pyrimidines as relatively simple to synthetise, even though the Advisory Panel recommended against that because most antimalarials by then were either ]s or ]s. Checking prospective 2,4-diaminopyridine derivatives with a basic side chain and a benzenoid ] one after another, they noticed a geometric pattern in the effective analogs and wondered if they could reproduce their interesting biologic activity with molecules even simpler, without the pyrimidine ring, and tried ]s (then called diguanides) with which Rose was familiar due to his earlier sulphonamide research to great effect.<ref name="pmid11616178">{{cite journal | vauthors = Suckling CW, Langley BW | title = Francis Leslie Rose: 27 June 1909-3 March 1988 | journal = Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society | volume = 36 | issue = | pages = 491–524 (503-505) | date = 1990 | pmid = 11616178 | doi = 10.1098/rsbm.1990.0041| s2cid = 40302178 | url = https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsbm.1990.0041 }}</ref> The drug was introduced by ICI in 1945. |

==Medical uses== |

Proguanil is used for the prevention and treatment of malaria in both adults and children, particularly in areas where ]-resistant ] malaria has been reported. It is usually taken in combination with ], another antimalarial drug.<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia|url=https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000621.htm|title=Malaria | encyclopedia = MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia | publisher = U.S. National Library of Medicine |access-date=16 November 2016|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20161117064956/https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000621.htm |archive-date=17 November 2016}}</ref> |

==Side effects== |

Proguanil is generally well tolerated, and most people do not experience side effects. However, common side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, headache, and fever.

==Mechanism== |
|
|
When used alone, proguanil functions as a ]. Its active metabolite, ], is an inhibitor of ] (DHFR).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/proguanil#section=Top|title= Proguanil {{!}} C11H16ClN5 | work = PubChem | publisher = U.S. National Library of Medine |access-date=13 November 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114165700/https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/proguanil#section=Top|archive-date=14 November 2016}}</ref> Although both mammals and parasites produce DHFR, cycloguanil's inhibitory activity is specific for parasitic DHFR. This enzyme is a critical component of the folic acid cycle. Inhibition of DHFR prevents the parasite from recycling dihydrofolate back to ] (THF). THF is required for DNA synthesis, amino acid synthesis, and methylation; thus, DHFR inhibition shuts down these processes.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Boggild AK, Parise ME, Lewis LS, Kain KC | title = Atovaquone-proguanil: report from the CDC expert meeting on malaria chemoprophylaxis (II) | journal = The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene | volume = 76 | issue = 2 | pages = 208–223 | date = February 2007 | pmid = 17297027 | doi = 10.4269/ajtmh.2007.76.208 | doi-access = free }}</ref> |

Proguanil displays ] when used in combination with the antimalarial atovaquone. This mechanism of action differs from when proguanil was used as a singular agent. In this case, it is not thought to function as a DHFR inhibitor. The addition of proguanil has shown to reduce resistance to atovaquone and increase the ability of atovaquone to trigger a mitochondrial apoptotic cascade.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Srivastava IK, Vaidya AB | title = A mechanism for the synergistic antimalarial action of atovaquone and proguanil | journal = Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | volume = 43 | issue = 6 | pages = 1334–1339 | date = June 1999 | pmid = 10348748 | pmc = 89274 | doi = 10.1128/AAC.43.6.1334 }}</ref> This is commonly referred to as "collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential."<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Srivastava IK, Rottenberg H, Vaidya AB | title = Atovaquone, a broad spectrum antiparasitic drug, collapses mitochondrial membrane potential in a malarial parasite | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 272 | issue = 7 | pages = 3961–3966 | date = February 1997 | pmid = 9020100 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.272.7.3961 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Proguanil lowers the effective concentration of atovaquone needed to increase permeability of the mitochondrial membrane.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Thapar MM, Gupta S, Spindler C, Wernsdorfer WH, Björkman A | title = Pharmacodynamic interactions among atovaquone, proguanil and cycloguanil against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro | journal = Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene | volume = 97 | issue = 3 | pages = 331–337 | date = May 2003 | pmid = 15228254 | doi = 10.1016/S0035-9203(03)90162-3 | doi-access = }}</ref> |
