chloroquine and Retinoblastoma

chloroquine has been researched along with Retinoblastoma 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.

Retinoblastoma: A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To study the inhibition of retinoblastoma cell viability by two commonly used autophagy inhibitors, chloroquine (CQ) and 3-methyladenine (3-MA), alone or in combination with the conventional chemotherapeutic drug vincristine (VCR), and to investigate whether the mechanisms of these drugs are related to inhibition of autophagy."7.81Low concentrations of chloroquine and 3-methyladenine suppress the viability of retinoblastoma cells synergistically with vincristine independent of autophagy inhibition.
