The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic. Many clinical trials have been performed to investigate potential treatments or vaccines for this disease to reduce the high morbidity and mortality. The drugs of higher interest include umifenovir, bromhexine, remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir, steroid, tocilizumab, interferon alpha or beta, ribavirin, fivapiravir, nitazoxanide, ivermectin, molnupiravir, hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine alone or in combination with azithromycin, and baricitinib.

BackgroundSeveral clinical trials have assessed the protective potential of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Chronic exposure to such drugs might lower the risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19).AimTo assess COVID-19 incidence and risk of hospitalisation in a cohort of patients chronically taking chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine.

Objective: Although hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine (HCQ/CQ) form the cornerstone of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treatment, not all patients receive this, which may contribute to disparities in outcomes. The present study was undertaken to investigate factors associated with first dispensing of HCQ/CQ.
Methods: Using Medicaid insurance claims from 2000 to 2010, we identified individuals ages 18-65 years with incident SLE (≥3 SLE International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes separated by ≥30 days without prior SLE codes or HCQ/CQ use for 24 months).

Objectives: Hydroxychloroquine has shown to have antiviral activity in vitro against coronaviruses, specifically SARS-CoV-2. It is believed to block virus infection by increasing endosomal pH required for virus cell fusion and glycosylation of viral surface proteins. In addition to its antiviral activity, hydroxychloroquine has an immune-modulating activity that may synergistically enhance its antiviral effect in vivo, making it a potentially promising drug for the prevention and the cure of SARS-CoV-19.
