Chloroquine increases phosphorylation of AMPK and Akt in myotubes
Aims: There are reports that ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) can activate the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and also Akt, two kinases that play integral parts in cardioprotection and metabolic function.

Insights from nanomedicine into chloroquine efficacy against COVID-19
Chloroquine — an approved malaria drug — is known in nanomedicine research for the investigation of nanoparticle uptake in cells, and may have potential for the treatment of COVID-19.

Background Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of malaria and is still primarily treated with chloroquine. Chloroquine inhibits the polymerization of haem to inert haemozoin. Free haem monomers are thought to catalyze oxidative damage to the Plasmodium spp.

Characterization of the commercially-available fluorescent chloroquine-BODIPY conjugate, LynxTag-CQGREEN, as a marker for chloroquine resistance and uptake in a 96-well plate assay. [PDF]
Chloroquine was a cheap, extremely effective drug against Plasmodium falciparum until resistance arose. One approach to reversing resistance is the inhibition of chloroquine efflux from its site of action, the parasite digestive vacuole.
