“The effects of chloroquine (100 microM) on leukotriene release were counteracted by the presence of arachidonic acid (10 microM), which suggests that chloroquine had impaired the availability of arachidonate.”
“Furthermore, CQ blocks the production of prostaglandins (PGs) in the intact cell by inhibiting substrate accessibility of arachidonic acid necessary for the production of PGs.”
“~ In studies performed in vitro the antiaggregatory effect of chloroquine was found to be time-, dose-, and calcium-dependent and related to inhibition of the arachidonic acid ”
