Amodiaquine inhibits heme. 5 / 5

reach
"However, earlier reports have shown that amodiaquine inhibits the polymerization of heme to the insoluble product, hemozoin, in the parasite (Ginsburg et al. 1998)."

"Several 4-aminoquinolines, notably chloroquine (CQ) and amodiaquine (AQ), are thought to act primarily by binding hemozoin crystals at their actively growing surfaces and thus preventing further incorporation and detoxification of free heme."

"It is conceivable that desethylamodiaquine and amodiaquine will be able to inhibit more effectively the polymerization of heme originating from the reduced amount of hemoglobin reaching the food vacuo[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"This is evidenced by the ABS-active, liver stage-inactive 4-aminoquinolines chloroquine, amodiaquine and piperaquine that inhibit hemoglobin degradation and heme detoxification, and artemisinin derivatives whose activation inside parasites requires heme-iron that is a product of hemoglobin degradation 5."

"Indeed atomic-force microscopy studies have shown that the various antimalarial 4-aminoquinolines affect the biomineralization of heme molecules in different ways, with CQ and quinine providing the most efficient blocking by forming interactions across the flat surface face (“step-pinning”), whereas MFQ and amodiaquine block addition of heme only to the step edge (“kink-blocking”)."
