Quinacrine
Quinacrine is an acridine compound with antimalarial, antiprotozoal, and antineoplastic properties that intercalates into DNA, inhibits phospholipase A2, and blocks sodium and calcium channels, producing multiple cellular effects including inhibition of telomerase and induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. It was widely used for malaria prophylaxis during World War II and has been investigated for its anticancer activity in non-small cell lung cancer and other malignancies.
