“Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.”
Cell culture data suggests prevention and therapy. Figure 2C is a classic dose-response curve, suggesting effect is not anomalous. ED50 = 4.4 uM —pretty good for an ‘old’ drug.
