"Overall, Chloroquine and its derivatives demonstrated a higher binding affinity for NSP3 viral protein when compared to other proteins included in this study, thereby signifying their potential as inhibitors of NSP3 function.The main protease is moderately inhibited by Hydroxychloroquine with the binding affinity (−4.8 kcal/mol) (Tables 5 and 5.1 supplementary)."

"Similarly, some studies have suggested that HCQ blocks virus integration into endosomes by modifying the cellular pH and activating lysosomal proteases, leading to virus degradation.30 31 Given that HCQ’s properties are at the frontier of anti-infectious and immunomodulatory activity, it seems legitimate to put an end to this controversy by prospectively and rigorously evaluating the pre-exposure efficacy of HCQ against COVID-19 infection and its effects on the anti-COVID-19 vaccine response."
