Abstract
The invitro study on the effect of the antimalarial drugs; Chloroquine, Lariam, Camoquine, Quinine, Halfan and Fansidar on human serum lactate dehydrogenase activity was investigated at pH 7.5., results obtained revealed that chloroquine had little or no significant effect on the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase activity while others (lariam, camoquine, quinine, halfan, and fansidar) activated the enzyme in a concentration dependent manner.
