Etymology of CONCHININE

The word "conchinine" derives from the plant species named "Cinchona", specifically the Cinchona officinalis tree. The term "conchinine" is a morphological variation of the plant's name and is used to refer to one of the alkaloids present in the bark of the Cinchona tree.

The word "Cinchona" itself has an interesting etymology. It is attributed to the Countess of Chinchón, Ana de Osorio, who was the wife of the Spanish Viceroy in Peru during the 17th century. According to popular legend, Ana de Osorio fell ill with malaria and was cured by using the bark of the Cinchona tree. The name "Cinchona" was given to the tree as a tribute to her. The term "conchinine" thus bears a close connection to the medicinal properties of Cinchona bark.
