hydroxychloroquine and Corneal Diseases

hydroxychloroquine has been researched along with Corneal Diseases in 11 studies

Hydroxychloroquine: A chemotherapeutic agent that acts against erythrocytic forms of malarial parasites. Hydroxychloroquine appears to concentrate in food vacuoles of affected protozoa. It inhibits plasmodial heme polymerase. (From Gilman et al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed, p970)
hydroxychloroquine : An aminoquinoline that is chloroquine in which one of the N-ethyl groups is hydroxylated at position 2. An antimalarial with properties similar to chloroquine that acts against erythrocytic forms of malarial parasites, it is mainly used as the sulfate salt for the treatment of lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and light-sensitive skin eruptions.

Corneal Diseases: Diseases of the cornea.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Antimalarial drugs including chloroquine, its less toxic quinolone-derivative hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and quinacrine have become cornerstones in the treatment of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, and Sjogren syndrome; cutaneous disorders, antiphospholipid syndrome, and have recently been employed at higher dioses in oncology."2.58Hydroxychloroquine: balancing the need to maintain therapeutic levels with ocular safety: an update. ( Abdulaziz, N; McCune, WJ; Shah, AR, 2018)
"The aim of this study was to examine the effects of long-term use of hydroxychloroquine (HQ) on the pachymetric, aberrometric, and densitometric values of the cornea and corneal endothelium in lupus patients."1.62Evaluation of corneal safety in systemic lupus erythematosus patients undergoing long-term hydroxychloroquine treatment. ( Akyol, L; Alakuş, MF; Balcı, MA; Çağlayan, M; Dağ, U; Öncül, H, 2021)
