About Chloroquines.

The term "chloroquines" is an informal grouping rather than an official pharmacologic class name, representing 4-aminoquinoline antimalarials and disease-modifying antirheumatic agents such as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine.

In infectious disease, these medications inhibit the biocrystallization of toxic heme within intraerythrocytic malaria parasites, thereby killing sensitive *Plasmodium* species.

In rheumatology, they exert immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects by accumulating in acidic lysosomes, which impairs antigen presentation and suppresses toll-like receptor activation.

Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated for the prevention and treatment of malaria, as well as the long-term management of autoimmune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
