Chloroquine(Cat No.:I015581)is an antimalarial drug that also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. It works by interfering with the parasite’s ability to degrade hemoglobin in red blood cells, effectively stopping its growth. In addition to treating malaria, chloroquine is used to manage autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus due to its ability to modulate the immune system. It has also been explored for its potential in cancer and viral infection treatments by inhibiting autophagy. Chloroquine remains a versatile compound in clinical and research settings.
