“…There is a consistent cardio toxicity reports on large scale use of Halofantrine, a phenatrane-methanol that is highly effective for P. falciparum malaria [27]. Bassi et al, (2006) [28], reported significantly increase activities of liver transaminase (ALT and AST) as well as cardiac enzymes (CK and LDH) following administration of halofantrine compared to baseline values. Damage to any of these tissues (cardiac and skeletal muscles, liver, kidney and erythrocytes) due to toxic injury such as drugs may increase plasma AST levels.…”

“…However, halofantrine is known to have some unwanted side effects, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, orthostatic, hypertension, prolongation of QTc intervals, pruritus, rash, and hepatotoxic (Karbwang et al 1991;Bassi et al 2006). The 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives are similar to halofantrine as antimalarial drug which its added at heterocyclic with two nitrogen atoms.…”
