Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Chloroquine phosphate is a widely used salt form of chloroquine providing stable aqueous solubility. It accumulates in parasite vacuoles and mammalian lysosomes, impairing hemepolymerisation, altering autophagic flux, and interfering with TLRmediated immune signalling. Also used to block viral entry via endosomal pH elevation.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in parasitemetabolism modelling, hostpathogen interaction research, autophagy and lysosomedysfunction studies, tolllike receptor pathway analysis and antiviralscreening platforms.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include retinopathy, cardiotoxicity, neuropsychiatric effects, GI symptoms and hepatic stress. Handle with highsafety controls due to systemic toxicity.
