The restoration of the immune system prompted by antiretroviral therapy (ART) has
allowed drastically reducing the mortality and morbidity of HIV infection.
However, one main source of clinical concern is the persistence of immune
hyperactivation in individuals under ART. Chronically enhanced levels of T-cell
activation are associated with several deleterious effects which lead to faster
disease progression and slower CD4(+) T-cell recovery during ART. In this
article, we discuss the rationale, and review the results, of the use of
antimalarial quinolines, such as chloroquine and its derivative
hydroxychloroquine, to counteract immune activation in HIV infection. Despite the
promising results of several pilot trials, the most recent clinical data indicate
that antimalarial quinolines are unlikely to exert a marked beneficial effect on
immune activation. Alternative approaches will likely be required to reproducibly
decrease immune activation in the setting of HIV infection. If the
quinoline-based strategies should nevertheless be pursued in future studies,
particular care must be devoted to the dosage selection, in order to maximize the
chances to obtain effective in vivo drug concentrations.
