Additional Information:

Hydroxychloroquine is a lysosomotropic agent which inhibits autophagy and triggers apoptosis in a variety of cell types (1,2). This compound augments the anticancer activity of DNA-damaging chemotherapy (3). It also has antiinflammatory activity. It decreases cell surface expression of TNFα receptors in U937 cells (4) and has been successfully used to treat alopecia (5). It is also a clinically relevant antimalaria agent. This compound is cell permeable and active in vivo.
