Chloroquine phosphate

SKU: orb1310848

Description

Chloroquine phosphate is a well-established antimalarial agent of the aminoquinoline class that also functions as a potent autophagy inhibitor and toll-like receptor (TLR) antagonist. It is widely utilized in both in vitro and in vivo research to study autophagy, innate immune signaling, and infectious diseases.

Bioactivity

−

Target IC50	Cytotoxicity against μMan KB cells by microplate method:0.6 μM\|Cytotoxicity against human K562 cells:31.83 nM
In Vivo	Chloroquine (80 mg/kg, i.p.) fails to inhibi the proliferation of triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells regardless of their high or low TLR9 expression levels in the orthotopic mouse model. however, chloroquine's suppression of TLR7 and TLR9 significantly reduces tumor growth in the mouse xenograft model, and it likewise markedly impedes HCC development in the DEN nMOR rat model.

In Vitro	Chloroquine (20 μM) inhibits IL-12p70 release and reduces Th1-priming capacity of activated human monocyte-derived Langerhans-like cells (MoLC). Chloroquine (20 μM) enhances IL-1–induced IL-23 secretion in MoLC and Subsequently increases IL-17A release by primed CD4+ T cells. Chloroquine (25 μM) suppresses MMP-9 mRNA expression in normoxia and hypoxia in parental MDA-MB-231 cells. Chloroquine has cell-, dose- and hypoxia-dependent effects on MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-13 mRNA expression. TLR7 and TLR9 Inhibition using chloroquine significantly reduce HuH7 cell proliferation in vitro. Read more...
Cell Research	The cells are cultured in 6-well plates with normal culture medium in the presence of Vehicle or 25 or 50 μM chloroquine, until near confluency, after which they are rinsed with sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and cultured further fo the indicated times in serum-free culture medium. A the desired time-points the culture medium is discarded an the cells are quickly Harvested in lysis buffer and clarified by centrifugation. Subsequent to boilin the supernatants in reducing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample buffer, equal amounts of protein (100 μg) are loaded per lane an the Samples are electrophoresed into 10 or 4-20% gradient polyacrylamide SDS gels, then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. To detect TLR9 the blots were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-TLR9 antibodies, diluted 1:500 in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 (TBST). Equal loading is confirmed with polyclonal rabbit anti-actin. Secondary detection is performed with horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibodies the protein and are visualized by chemiluminescence using an ECL kit. Read more...
Animal Research	Control and TLR9 siRNA MDA-MB-231 cells ( × 0^5 cells in 100 μL) are inoculated int the mammary fat pads of four-week-old, immune-deficient mice (athymic nude/nu Foxn1). Treatments are started seven days after tumor cell inoculation the mice are treated daily either with intraperitoneal (i.p.) chloroquine (80 mg/kg) or Vehicle (PBS) the animals are monitored daily for clinical signs. Tumor measurements are performed twice a week and tumor volume is calculated according to the formula = π/6) (d × 2)3/2, where d1 and d2 are perpendicular tumor diameters the tumors are allowed to grow for 22 days, at which poin the mice are sacrificed an the tumors are dissected for a final measurement. Throughou the experiments the animals are maintained under controlled pathogen-free envir nMental conditions (20-21°C, 30-60% relative humidity and a 12 h lighting cycle) the mice are fed with small-animal food pellets and supplied with sterile water ad libitum.
