chloroquine and Mental Disorders

chloroquine has been researched along with Mental Disorders in 23 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.

Mental Disorders: Psychiatric illness or diseases manifested by breakdowns in the adaptational process expressed primarily as abnormalities of thought, feeling, and behavior producing either distress or impairment of function.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To compare the frequency of adverse events, particularly neuropsychiatric effects, from mefloquine and from chloroquine plus proguanil as used for malaria chemoprophylaxis."7.69Comparison of adverse events associated with use of mefloquine and combination of chloroquine and proguanil as antimalarial prophylaxis: postal and telephone survey of travellers. ( Barrett, PJ; Bradley, DJ; Clarke, PD; Emmins, PD, 1996)
"To compare the frequency of adverse events, particularly neuropsychiatric effects, from mefloquine and from chloroquine plus proguanil as used for malaria chemoprophylaxis."3.69Comparison of adverse events associated with use of mefloquine and combination of chloroquine and proguanil as antimalarial prophylaxis: postal and telephone survey of travellers. ( Barrett, PJ; Bradley, DJ; Clarke, PD; Emmins, PD, 1996)
"To perform a systematic review on the psychiatric adverse effects of chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ); to summarize what is known about psychiatric adverse effects of these drugs; to compare clinical trials, populational studies, and case report studies; and to increase awareness of the potential psychiatric adverse effects of these drugs."3.01Systematic Review of Psychiatric Adverse Effects Induced by Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine: Case Reports and Population Studies. ( Cao, B; Chakravarty, S; Greenshaw, AJ; Liu, YS; Passos, IC; Talarico, F, 2023)
"However, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatments, themselves, must be considered as potential catalysts for new-onset neuropsychiatric symptoms in COVID-19 patients."1.72Remitting neuropsychiatric symptoms in COVID-19 patients: Viral cause or drug effect? ( Camejo-Avila, NA; Collado Espinal, IB; Delgado-Noguera, LA; Ferro, C; Flora-Noda, DM; Forero-Peña, DA; Hernandez, MM; Landaeta, ME; Maricuto, AL; Morantes Rodríguez, CG; Mozo Herrera, IP; Páez Paz, J; Paniz-Mondolfi, AE; Perez-Garcia, LA; Sordillo, EM; Velásquez, VL, 2022)
" In this study, aiming to investigate these adverse events (AEs) using a large self-reporting database, we conducted a disproportionality analysis for the detection of neuropsychiatric AE signals associated with the use of chloroquine (or hydroxychloroquine), reported to FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database between the fourth quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2019."1.56Neuropsychiatric adverse events of chloroquine: a real-world pharmacovigilance study using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. ( Iwata, A; Mano, T; Sato, K; Toda, T, 2020)
"Psychosis is caused by interactions with other drugs or by pharmacogenetic vulnerabilities that cause heightened responses to chloroquine or mefloquine alone, mediated through dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, P-glycoprotein, inhibited cortical activity, deranged calcium homeostasis, and impaired synaptogenesis."1.33Drug interactions and pharmacogenetic reactions are the basis for chloroquine and mefloquine-induced psychosis. ( Alisky, JM; Chertkova, EL; Iczkowski, KA, 2006)
