摘要
We report occupational asthma and rhinitis in a formulation pharmacist, employed in the development of tafenoquine. Tafenoquine is a new anti-malarial drug in development; the pure drug substance has an asthma hazard index of zero and previously was not known to be a respiratory sensitizing agent. The implications of this finding for the refinement of quantitative structural analysis of asthmagenic chemicals are discussed.
