Molecular Weight: 302.238
DrugBank Targets: Tyrosine-protein kinase HCK; Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit gamma isoform; UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 3A1; ATP synthase subunit alpha, mitochondrial; ATP synthase subunit beta, mitochondrial; ATP synthase subunit gamma,
DrugBank MoA: Quercetin is a specific quinone reductase 2 (QR2) inhibitor, an enzyme (along with the human QR1 homolog) which catalyzes metabolism of toxic quinolines. Inhibition of QR2 in plasmodium may potentially cause lethal oxidative stress. The inhibition of antioxidant activity in plasmodium may contribute to killing the malaria causing parasites.
