Chloroquine

Biological Activity

Chloroquine is an inhibitor of autophagy and Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Chloroquine can effectively inhibit SARS-COV-2 infection (EC50=1.13 μM). Chloroquine is an anti-inflammatory widely used in malaria and rheumatoid arthritis.

Chemical Information

Molecular Weight	319.87
Formula	C18H26ClN3
CAS Number	54-05-7
Solubility (25°C)	DMSO ≥ 50 mg/mL
Storage	4°C, dry, protect from light, sealed

Conversion of different model animals based on BSA (PMID: 27057123)

Species	Mouse	Rat	Rabbit	Guinea pig	Hamster	Dog
Weight (kg)	0.02	0.15	1.8	0.4	0.08	10
Body Surface Area (m2)	0.007	0.025	0.15	0.05	0.02	0.5
Km factor	3	6	12	8	5	20

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by	Animal B Km
	Animal A Km

For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the K_m factor for a mouse and then divide by the K_m factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
