Chloroquine sensitises hypoxic colorectal cancer cells to ROS-mediated cell death via structural disruption of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1

Chloroquine (CQ), an autophagy antagonist, has been recently explored as a repurposable medicine for cancer; however the exact mechanism of its action is still not known. The present study investigated the effect of CQ on colorectal cancer cells to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. We r...
