How It Works
Chloroquine interferes with the malaria parasite’s ability to metabolize and digest hemoglobin. By accumulating in the parasite’s food vacuole, it prevents the parasite from neutralizing its own toxic waste products, ultimately causing parasite death and interrupting the infection cycle.
