"By contrast , hydroxychloroquine , which inhibits viral entry by increasing endosomal pH and affecting terminal glycosylation of the ACE2 receptor ( 19 ) , is predicted by the model to be less likely to be effective since drugs that act on viral entry would require exceptionally high suppression to achieve appreciable effects on viral production ."

"The mechanism of action of how CQ and HCQ block viral entry and progression is still not completely understood , with several mechanisms being proposed : blocking of endosomal acidification , interference with glycosylation of ACE2 or viral proteins , direct binding to ACE2 or viral proteins , interference with viral endocytosis , sequestering of metals , and exertion of immunomodulatory effects ."

"It is suggested that hydroxychloroquine inhibits viral entry , and the mechanism of action against SARS-CoV-2 and other similar viruses is two-fold : first , it increases the pH in endosomes and inhibits viruses from utilizing their activity for cell fusion and entry ; second , it inhibits the glycosylation of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 ( ACE2 ) , which is the receptor targeted by some viruses , including SARS-CoV-2 , for cell entry [ 38 ] ."
