General description

Desethylchloroquine is a metabolite of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have antimalarial properties and are used as a therapeutic for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other inflammatory rheumatic diseases. They have also been in the spotlight due to their activity on patients with COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine interfere with lysosomal activity and autophagy, interact with membrane stability and alter signalling pathways and transcriptional activity, which can result in modulation of cytokine production. Their mode of action is still emerging and their metabolism is of great interest.

Studies aimed at repurposing existing drugs revealed that some antimalarial compounds possess anti-Zika virus (anti-ZIKV) activity. Here, we further tested 14 additional antimalarial drugs and their metabolites or analogs for anti-ZIKV activity using a phenotypic screening approach. We identified four
