Hydroxychloroquine (EC50 = 0.72 M) were shown to be more effective than chloroquine (EC50 = 5.47 M) in in vitro. Based on the results of PBPK (Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic) models, a loading dose of 400 mg twice daily of hydroxychloroquine sulfate given orally, followed by a maintenance dose of 200 mg twice daily for four days, is recommended for SARS-CoV-2 infection, as it reached three times the potency of chloroquine phosphate when given 500 mg twice daily five days in advance.
