HCQ | Indapamide | Combination Effect? | |
---|---|---|---|
Protection against neurotoxicity in vitro |
+++ | +++ | Unable to assess since each drug by itself was already very potent |
Anti-oxidant capacity (HORAC) in vitro |
No effect | ++++ | No |
Inhibition of microglial TNF-α in vitro |
++ | ++ | No |
CD68+ microglia/macrophage in vivo | No effect | No effect | Yes. Reduces CD68+ immunoreactivity within lesion |
Axonal health (APP accumulation) in vivo | No effect | No effect | Yes. Reduces number of APP+ axons in lesion |
Marker of oxidative injury (4-HNE) in vivo | ++++ | No effect | The magnitude of 4-HNE reduction by HCQ is marked, so it is not possible to determine any additional effect |
