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: They should give me more than ~30 seconds to think?!
gollark: Oh, wonderful, they just removed it for some reason.
gollark: That is not a carina/risensong/red or plural or hatchlings.
gollark: ... why did someone offer a CB pink zyumorph *egg*?!
