Trials assessing antimalarial drugs in hand osteoarthritis, however, have found that hydroxychloroquine is no more effective than placebo in providing pain relief13,14, implying that although antimalarial drugs are useful for a selection of rheumatic diseases, they are not ‘wonder drugs’. Rheumatology 47, 378–379 (2008). Mechanism of action 44, 145–190 (1993). 42, 531–551 (2016). Chloroquine accumulates in very high concentrations in the parasite food vacuole (Geary et al., 1986).

Effect of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel with or without hydroxychloroquine on patients with advanced pancreatic cancer: a phase 2 randomized clinical trial. (R)-(−)-hydroxychloroquine (the stereochemical ‘rectus’ configuration of hydroxychloroquine) is present at higher concentrations in the blood than (S)-(+)-hydroxychloroquine (the stereochemical ‘sinister’ configuration of hydroxychloroquine)32, suggesting the existence of stereoselective processes in the deposition and/or metabolism of this drug. In chronic kidney disease, despite the fact that decreased drug clearance can result in increased (and potentially toxic) concentrations of hydroxychloroquine, current guidelines do not include the recommendation to reduce the dosage of hydroxychloroquine in patients with chronic kidney diseases. Systematic reviews8,9 of randomized controlled and observational studies of antimalarial drugs in SLE, with particular emphasis on hydroxychloroquine, have found strong evidence that this molecule has an immunomodulatory capacity, including the ability to prevent disease flares and promote long-term survival in SLE and control autoimmune disease activity during pregnancies without evidence of fetotoxic or embryotoxic effects.

New data are also presented which show that heme polymerase isolated from chloroquine resistant trophozoites retains full sensitivity to drug inhibition, consistent with the observation that resistance involves a reduced accumulation of the drug at the (still vulnerable) target site.

Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine can also directly bind to nucleic acids and hence might block TLR9 signalling at the intracellular level by inhibiting TLR–ligand interactions (steric blockade) (Fig. Med. J. Clin. In APCs, such as pDCs and B cells, this drug also inhibits antigen processing and subsequent MHC class II presentation to T cells, preventing T cell activation, differentiation and expression of co-stimulatory molecules (such as CD154) and also reducing the production of cytokines (such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF) by both T cells and B cells. Neither chloroquine nor hydroxychloroquine underwent conventional drug development, but their use has become a part of current treatment guidelines for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)1, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)2,3,4, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)5 and primary Sjögren syndrome6,7. JAMA Ophthalmol.

Ther. Microbially derived artemisinin: a biotechnology solution to the global problem of access to affordable antimalarial drugs. Hydroxychloroquine shares the same mechanism of action as chloroquine, but its more tolerable safety profile makes it the preferred drug to treat malaria and autoimmune conditions. These compounds lead to improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters, but their slow onset of action distinguishes them from glucocorticoi …. Scand. However, the treatment periods for oncological conditions are generally much shorter than for rheumatic diseases, and therefore the cumulative dose is usually lower in patients with cancer than in patients with rheumatic diseases. Furthermore, the dose–response relationships and thresholds of toxicity of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have yet to be fully delineated. Chloroquine inhibits autophagic flux by decreasing autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Dis. Notably, cGAS inhibitors are currently in development for the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic diseases97. In 2018, to better understand the complexity of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxychloroquine, researchers used a physiologically based pharmacokinetics model to describe the tissue-specific absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and lysosome-specific sequestration of this drug44. Chloroquine has been sporadically used in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection. 186, 4794–4804 (2011). As the pH in lysosomes is optimal for lysosomal enzymes involved in hydrolysis, by increasing the pH of endosomal compartments85, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine might impair the maturation of lysosomes and autophagosomes and inhibit antigen presentation along the lysosomal pathway (Fig. J. Pharmacol. Some studies have reported marked differences in the pharmacokinetics of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine in humans38,39; however, these differences can be explained by differences in either the analytical methods applied, the sample source used (that is, plasma versus whole blood), or renal clearance of these drugs38,40. There are three major hypotheses to explain chloroquine accumulation in the DV, however, the exact mechanism of action still is a matter of debate. Ther. 30, 194–210 (1996). Am. 37, 327–334 (2012).
