4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Hydroxychloroquine is indicated for the prophylaxis of malaria where chloroquine resistance is not reported, treatment of uncomplicated malaria (caused by _P. falciparum_, _P. malariae_, _P. ovale_, or _P. vivax_), chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic lupus erythematosus, acute rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic rheumatoid arthritis.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Enzyme Inhibitors

Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction. (See all compounds classified as Enzyme Inhibitors.)


Antimalarials

Agents used in the treatment of malaria. They are usually classified on the basis of their action against plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human. (From AMA, Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p1585) (See all compounds classified as Antimalarials.)


Antirheumatic Agents

Drugs that are used to treat RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. (See all compounds classified as Antirheumatic Agents.)

5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Hydroxychloroquine is 67-74% bioavailable. Bioavailability of the R and S enantiomers were not significantly different. Following a 200mg oral dose, hydroxychloroquine reached a Cmax of 129.6ng/mL with a Tmax of 3.26h in the blood and a Cmax of 50.3ng/mL with a Tmax of 3.74h in the plasma. Following 155mg and 310mg intravenous doses, Cmax in the blood ranged from 1161-2436ng/mL with an average of 1918ng/mL.


Route of Elimination

40-50% of hydroxychloroquine is excreted renally, while only 16-21% of a dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug. 5% of a dose is sloughed off in skin and 24-25% is eliminated through the feces.


Volume of Distribution

Hydroxychloroquine has a volume of distribution of 5522L from blood and 44,257L from plasma.


Clearance

The clearance of hydroxychloroquine is 96mL/min.


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hydroxychloroquine is N-dealkylated by CYP3A4 to the active metabolite desethylhydroxychloroquine, as well as the inactive metabolites desethylchloroquine and bidesethylchloroquine. Desethylhydroxychloroquine is the major metabolite.


Partially hepatic, to active de-ethylated metabolites. Half Life: Terminal elimination half-life In blood is approximately 50 days. In plasma it is approximately 32 days.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

Oral hydroxychloroquine has an absorption half life of 3-4 hours. A 200mg oral dose of hydroxychloroquine has a half life of 537 hours or 22.4 days in blood, and 2963 hours or 123.5 days in plasma. A 155mg intravenous dose has a half life of 40 days.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

The exact mechanisms of hydroxychloroquine are unknown. It has been shown that hydroxychloroquine accumulates in the lysosomes of the malaria parasite, raising the pH of the vacuole. This activity interferes with the parasite's ability to proteolyse hemoglobin, preventing the normal growth and replication of the parasite. Hydroxychloroquine can also interfere with the action of parasitic heme polymerase, allowing for the accumulation of the toxic product beta-hematin. Hydroxychloroquine accumulation in human organelles also raise their pH, which inhibits antigen processing, prevents the alpha and beta chains of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II from dimerizing, inhibits antigen presentation of the cell, and reduces the inflammatory response. Elevated pH in the vesicles may alter the recycling of MHC complexes so that only the high affinity complexes are presented on the cell surface. Self peptides bind to MHC complexes with low affinity and so they will be less likely to be presented to autoimmune T cells. Hydroxychloroquine also reduces the release of cytokines like interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor, possibly through inhibition of Toll-like receptors. The raised pH in endosomes, prevent virus particles (such as SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) from utilizing their activity for fusion and entry into the cell. Hydroxychloroquine inhibits terminal glycosylation of ACE2, the receptor that SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 target for cell entry. ACE2 that is not in the glycosylated state may less efficiently interact with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, further inhibiting viral entry.
