Overview

Tafenoquine is an 8-aminoquinoline analogue of primaquine which varies only on the presence of a 5-phenoxy group. It was discovered by the scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1978 as a substitute for primaquine that would be more effective against relapsing vivax malaria. Tafenoquine was further developed collaboratively between GlaxoSmithKline and Medicines for Malaria Venture. It was FDA approved on July 20, 2018.
