Natural malaria drug made from bitter plant.
Scientists have found out how quinine is made naturally. This could make the drug cheaper. It is a big step for medicine.
Researchers in Germany have identified all the chemicals involved in making quinine. This discovery happened a long time after quinine was first found. The work looks at how quinine is created in nature. Scientists believe this will help make the drug more easily and cheaply produced. It could also help make other similar medicines.
