Chloroquine Diphosphate（Cat No.:A000578）is a widely used antimalarial drug that targets Plasmodium species responsible for malaria. It acts by interfering with heme detoxification in the parasite’s food vacuole, causing toxic accumulation and death. Beyond malaria, it has been explored for autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus due to its immunomodulatory effects. Chloroquine Diphosphate also exhibits antiviral potential, making it a candidate for research into emerging viral infections. Its broad therapeutic applications and established efficacy underscore its importance in medicine and pharmacological research.
