It inhibits plasmodial heme polymerase and acts through other unknown mechanisms. Hydroxychloroquine also has anti-inflammatory properties and is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. (NCI04)

Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it may be based on ability of hydroxychloroquine to bind to and alter DNA. Hydroxychloroquine has also has been found to be taken up into the acidic food vacuoles of the parasite in the erythrocyte. This increases the pH of the acid vesicles, interfering with vesicle functions and possibly inhibiting phospholipid metabolism. In suppressive treatment, hydroxychloroquine inhibits the erythrocytic stage of development of plasmodia. In acute attacks of malaria, it interrupts erythrocytic schizogony of the parasite. Its ability to concentrate in parasitized erythrocytes may account for their selective toxicity against the erythrocytic stages of plasmodial infection. As an antirheumatic, hydroxychloroquine is thought to act as a mild immunosuppressant, inhibiting the production of rheumatoid factor and acute phase reactants. It also accumulates in white blood cells, stabilizing lysosomal membranes and inhibiting the activity of many enzymes, including collagenase and the proteases that cause cartilage breakdown.
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE SULFATE
Antirheumatic Agent [EPC]; Antimalarial [EPC]
Agents used in the treatment of malaria. They are usually classified on the basis of their action against plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human. (From AMA, Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p1585)
Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction.
Drugs that are used to treat RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
For the suppressive treatment and treatment of acute attacks of malaria due to <i>Plasmodium vivax</i>, <i>P. malariae</i>, <i>P. ovale</i>, and susceptible strains of <i>P. falciparum</i>. It is also indicated for the treatment of discoid and systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
DescriptionHydroxychloroquine is an aminoquinoline with antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities. It is active against the chloroquine-sensitive NF54 and D6 strains of P. falciparum (IC50s = 16.3 and 15 nM, respectively) but has decreased activity against chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum strains (IC50s = 422.7-1,735.3 nM). Hydroxychloroquine inhibits production of IL-22, IL-17A, and IL-6 induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; ) and ionomycin in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from healthy individuals or patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It inhibits accumulation of sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1) puncta, a marker of autophagy, in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in a concentration-dependent manner. Hydroxychloroquine reduces viral titers of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the culture supernatant of infected Vero E6 cells but does not reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral titers in an in vitro human airway epithelium model or the respiratory tract of infected cynomolgus macaques. Formulations containing hydroxychloroquine have been used in the prevention or treatment of malaria, as well as in the treatment of RA and SLE.

DescriptionHydroxychloroquine sulfate (also known as hydroxychloroquine) is an antimalarial medicine approved in the United States for either prevention or treatment of certain types of malaria, lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is sold under the brand name Plaquenil and it is also sold as a generic medicine. It is available in tablets of 155mg base (200mg salt). Hydroxychloroquine sulfate has not been approved for the treatment of COVID-19. It has been used experimentally to treat certain people with COVID-19, including hospitalized patients. Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is being used to try and stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading inside your body. This may help you to get better. Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is experimental because we do not know if it works for COVID-19. It is not approved by FDA for the treatment of COVID-19, but emergency use has been authorized for adults and adolescents who weigh 50 kg (110 pounds) or more and are hospitalized with COVID-19 if a clinical trial is not available or you are not able to participate in a clinical trial. There is limited information known about the safety and effectiveness (whether this will make you better) of using hydroxychloroquine sulfate for hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
UsesHydroxychloroquine Sulfate can be used as a pharmaceutical secondary standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations, and biological samples by various analytical techniques.These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
