“…In a recent study, the quinolinebased antimalarial, CQ, in combination with conventional therapy significantly increased the mean survival probability of patients with GBM from 11.4 to 25 months. 4 The authors of that study attributed the antimutagenic properties of CQ to its ability to enhance TMZ. 5 They hypothesized that mutagenic chemotherapies, such as TMZ and carmustine, cause hypermutations in glioma cell clones that eventually lead to drug resistance.…”

“…This has attracted the use of autophagy inhibitors to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy. Chloroquine, an autophagy inhibitor, has been reported to sensitise a variety of cancers to conventional chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo Solomon and Lee, 2009), and enhance survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme when used as an adjuvant with conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy (Briceno et al, 2007).…”
