https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266855752_Inhibition_of_autophagy_by_chloroquine_potentiates_synergistically_anticancer_property_of_artemisinin_by_promoting_ROS_dependent_apoptosis

 

" In this study, we modulated the ART-induced autophagy to increase Potency of ART (artemisinin) as an anticancer agent. ART reduced the cell viability and colony forming ability of non-small lung carcinoma (A549) cells and it was non-toxic against normal lung (WI38) cells. ART induced autophagy at the early stage of treatment. Pre-treatment with chloroquine (CQ) and followed by ART treatment had synergistic combination index (CI) for cell death. Inhibition of autophagy by CQ pre-treatment led to accumulation of acidic vacuoles (AVOs) which acquainted with unprocessed damage mitochondria that subsequently promoted ROS generation, and resulted releases of Cyt C in cytosol that caused caspase-3 dependent apoptosis cell death in ART-treated A549 cells.
