CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MICROBIOLOGY:
Mechanism of Action:
The constituents of atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride interfere
with 2 different pathways
involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines required for nucleic acid

dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor. Inhibition
of dihydrofolate reductase in the malaria par
