The mechanism by which Chlorquinaldol exerts it's bacteriocidal effect is unknown. 8-hydroxyquinolines are known to be bidentate chelators of several metal ions which act as critical enzyme cofactors. However, the addition of exogenous metal ions does not appear to alter the minimum inhibitory concentration for mycobacterium tuberculosis suggesting that the primary mechanism does not rely on chelation.

There is a high degree of variability in the extent of absorption of topically applied chorquinaldol preparations. It is reported to be between 4.2 and 23.5% of the applied dose. This is quite low compared to orally administered preparations which displayed 67.6% absorption in the same study.
