"For example , reports have been emerging in the scientific literature1 ,2 that chloroquine ( CQ ) and hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) - vintage drugs to treat malaria as well as some autoimmune diseases - seem to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro by slowing down entry of viruses into the cell and by blocking their transport from early endosomes to endolysosomes ,2,3 causing noticeable enlargement of the former and affecting the pH levels4 within the endolysosomal tract ."

"There is also preclinical evidence that CQ , as well as HCQ , might inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection by binding with high affinity to some cellular links ( namely sialic acids and gangliosides ) , by inhibition of glycosylation of host receptors , proteolytic processing , and endosomal acidification , thus blocking virus entry [ 63 ] ."

"We also demonstrated that the drugs , 4 hydroxychloroquine ( HQ ; 10 muM ) , a known endosomal acidification inhibitor , as well as 5 interferon ( IFN ) - beta , IFN-alpha , and EIDD-2801 ( Molnupiravir ) , effectively blocked SARS-CoV-2 6 infection ( Liu et al ., 2020 ) ( Figure S1C ) ."

"Trials evaluating hydroxychloroquine / chloroquine , the most speculated drugs in the earlier months of pandemic , have produced results showing that hydroxychloroquine did not prevent new COVID-19 disease or SARS-CoV-2 infection when used as prophylaxis in high-risk people ( Abella et al ., 2020 , Boulware et al ., 2020 ) neither reduce symptoms severity as early treatment in mild outpatients ( Skipper et al ., 2020 ) and mild-to-moderate patients ( Cavalcanti et al ., 2020 ) ."
