chloroquine and Cystinosis

chloroquine has been researched along with Cystinosis in 6 studies

Chloroquine: The prototypical antimalarial agent with a mechanism that is not well understood. It has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the systemic therapy of amebic liver abscesses.
chloroquine : An aminoquinoline that is quinoline which is substituted at position 4 by a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]amino group at at position 7 by chlorine. It is used for the treatment of malaria, hepatic amoebiasis, lupus erythematosus, light-sensitive skin eruptions, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Cystinosis: A metabolic disease characterized by the defective transport of CYSTINE across the lysosomal membrane due to mutation of a membrane protein cystinosin. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. In the KIDNEY, nephropathic cystinosis is a common cause of RENAL FANCONI SYNDROME.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The present study concerns the effect of the lysosomotropic drug chloroquine on the uptake and metabolism of [35S]cystine in vitro by normal human fibroblasts and those from patients suffering from the lysosomal storage disease cystinosis."3.66The effect of chloroquine on the metabolism of [35S]cystine in normal and cystinotic human skin fibroblasts. ( Danpure, CJ, 1981)
"Fibroblasts derived from patients with cystinosis, an autosomal recessive condition, accumulate the disulfide amino acid cystine within lysosomes."3.65Cystinotic fibroblasts accumulate cystine from intracellular protein degradation. ( Oshima, RG; Ritchie, DG; Schneider, JA; Thoene, JG, 1977)
