Uptake of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine by human blood leucocytes in vitro: relation to cellular concentrations during antirheumatic therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accumulation of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in unfractionated mononuclear cells and in purified monocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) was measured in vitro. Accumulation of both drugs in leucocytes was time and dose dependent. Cellular levels comparable to those found during antirheumatic therapy were achieved by preincubation for 60 minutes with up to 0.1 mM chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.

In vitro inhibition of protein synthesis in the retinal pigment epithelium by chloroquine.
There is substantial evidence that the primary structure involved in chloroquine retinopathy is the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and that this drug, like the phenothiazines, stores in RPE in high concentration. Experiments reported here show that in concentrations of approximately 5 x 2 (MM chloroquine inhibits protein synthesis in RPE without inhibiting amino acid uptake as measured with <...
متن کاملChloroquine enjoys a renaissance as an antineoplastic therapy
Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), oral lysosomotropic agents with well-studied toxicity profiles, and antimalarial and antirheumatic activity, have been repurposed as antineoplastic agents based on preclinical data showing efficacy in preinvasive cancer, cancer stem cells and metastatic cancer. Phase I/II clinical trials are providing safety and efficacy data regarding CQ or HCQ mo...

متن کامل[A short history of anti-rheumatic therapy - VI. Rheumatoid arthritis drugs].
The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis traditionally includes symptomatic drugs, showing a prompt action on pain and inflammation, but without any influence on disease progression, and other drugs that could modify the disease course and occasionally induce clinical remission (DMARDs or disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs). This review describes the historical steps that led to the use of the...
متن کاملDisease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in pregnancy: current status and implications for the future.
Drug use during pregnancy is sometimes unavoidable, especially in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) often starts in the early stage of RA; therefore, women of reproductive age are at risk for exposure to a DMARD at time of conception as well as during pregnancy. The aim of this paper was to review recent li...
