Chloroquine Phosphate is a 4-aminoquinoline compound used to inhibit growth of malarial parasites. It is a weak intercalating agent. Chloroquine Phosphate can be used as a DNA interacalator and can be used to increase transfection efficiency. It has shown activity against SARS-CoV-2.
Chloroquine Phosphate is freely soluble in water, and very slightly soluble in ethanol and methanol.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
Background
Chloroquine enters a malarial parasite and binds to hemozoin, a non-toxic polymer formed from the parasite in an infected red blood cell. The chloroquine:hemozin complex interferes with normal membrane function leading to build-up of chloroquine:hemozin complexes and ultimately, cell lysis.
