atebrin|ˈætɪbrɪn|
Also (chiefly U.S.) atabrine. (Both are proprietary terms.)
[ad. -ate1 1 c + brine.]
A synthetic antimalarial drug, quinacrine dihydrochloride; also called mepacrine.
The word is recorded from 1913 but was not applied to the anti-malarial drug discovered by the German chemists H. Mauss and F. Mietzsch in 1930 (when it was known by the laboratory name of ‘Erion’) until 1932. See 1933 Klinische Wochenschrift 19 Aug., 1276–8.
