“…Recently, there is increasing evidence that chloroquine also regulates the function of vascular cells (Manson et al, 2014;Pestana, Oishi, Salistre-Araujo, & Rodrigues, 2015;Sai et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2017) and cardiac myocytes (Sanchez-Chapula, Salinas-Stefanon, Torres-Jacome, Benavides-Haro, & Navarro-Polanco, 2001;Tona, Ng, Akera, & Brody, 1990).
