“In this study, we demonstrate that CQ and HCQ could markedly impair atROL uptake in OATP1A2-expressing HEK293 cells and more importantly, in primary human RPE cells.”

“Cell surface membrane-active agents, such as chloroquine , hydrocortisone and chlorpromazine inhibited cytotoxicity, while vitamin A caused enhancement.”
“Although the parasites were highly resistant against 4-aminoquinolines, significant synergism was observed between chloroquine and retinol as well as amodiaquine and retinol, the latter at physiological concentrations.”
“Combination with retinol reduced the geometric mean concentrations effecting complete inhibition (GMCOC) by chloroquine from 14425 nM to 8943 nM in CHL-RET low, 7042 nM in CHL-RET medium, and 4920 nM in CHL-RET high.”
