Chloroquine dihydrochloride (80 mg/kg, i.p.) does not prevent the growth of the triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells with high or low TLR9 expression levels in the orthotopic mouse model. TLR7 and TLR9 inhibition using IRS-954 or Chloroquine dihydrochloride significantly inhibits tumour growth in the mouse xenograft model. HCC development in the DEN/NMOR rat model is also significantly inhibited by Chloroquine.
