It has been used as a veterinary medicine to treat salmonids for infection with the myxozoan parasite Myxobolus cerebralis.

Synthesis

Antimalarial activity also predominates in a quinoline that bears a diaminoalkyl side chain at a rather different position from the other agents noted.

Clamoxyquin synthesis:[1]

Thus, Mannich condensation of the hydroxyquinoline (1) with formaldehyde and N,N-diethylpropylenediamine affords clamoxyquin (2).

gollark: There's no `bee` there, and if there was one in an enclosing scope it wouldn't use it unless it couldn't solve it otherwise.
gollark: No, it's `bees`.
gollark: For example,```rustlet bees = 4;let apio = 7let apioBees = "hi"return (+)(***)```will use `bees` and `apio` as arguments for `+`, as those satisfy its signature.
gollark: You can also use the `***` operator to keep pulling in local variables from increasingly wide scopes as arguments until a function can be called.
gollark: Alternatively, the hash of the name and signature.
