How to use

In Vitro:

P. falciparum

In Vivo:

Intraperitoneal injections of Chloroquine are administered to wild-type and Huntington's disease (Q175/Q175) mice. LC-MS/MS is used to compare the levels Chloroquine and its metabolites in blood, brain and muscle tissue. Concentrations of Chloroquine are lower (5-15M), but more stable in brain tissue compared to blood or muscle between 4 and 24 hours after the last dose. Levels of the active Chloroquine metabolite Desethyl chloroquine decreased in muscle and blood over the 24 hour post-injection period, while brain Desethyl chloroquine levels are lower and rose slightly over the same time frame.
