HOW DOES CHLOROQUINE/HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE WORK IN PREVENTING CORONA VIRUS DISEASE AND OTHER VIRAL DISEASES?

Answer: Chloroquine inhibitors the function of lysosomes.

What is a lysosome?

Human and animal cells contain small organs known as organelles. Examples of organelles are mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies/apparatus and lysosomes.

As you can see, a lysosome is an organelle within every living human/animal cell.

What are the functions/jobs of lysosomes?

A Lysosome is like the stomach of a cell. It contains enzymes that digest food particles and other dead or excess organelles and removes them as waste products. It also engulfs viruses and bacteria.

Lysosomes have more than 20 other functions but note their roles in engulfing viruses.

Certain viruses such as the corona virus requires a lysosome to have an acidic pH before it can multiple and destroy the cell.

Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine is a weak base/alkali. Therefore, chloroquine will neutralise the acidic environment of lysosomes, thereby, preventing the corona virus from multiplying/causing harm.
