Halofantrine
An antimalarial medication used to treat malaria caused by chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax strains. It works by interfering with the parasite's heme detoxification process, leading to the accumulation of toxic heme within the parasite. Concerns about cardiotoxicity, particularly QT prolongation, limit its use to situations where safer alternatives are not available.
