Chloroquine is also used to treat amebiasis, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus erythematosus.

Chloroquine is rapidly and absorbed completely from the intestine and gets metabolized in the liver. Chloroquine has high tissue distribution, especially in the liver, spleen, lungs, kidney.

How does it work?

Once the malarial parasite enters the body it gains access to the liver through the bloodstream. The parasites mature in the liver and infect the red blood cells. Chloroquine inhibits the formation of hemozoin (Hz) products released by the digestion of hemoglobin which gives the parasite its nutrient supply.

The free heme then breaks the parasitic membranes and leads to parasite death. The parasite gets killed due to the accumulation of metabolic wastes (i.e. heme) associated with the digestion of hemoglobin.
