RESUMO

The combinations of chloroquine plus chlorpromazine and chloroquine plus prochlorperazine were evaluated in vitro for potentiation against isolates of Plasmodium falciparum. Potentiation was observed against all chloroquine-resistant isolates. There was no potentiation against 8 of 10 chloroquine-susceptible isolates. The results indicated that the phenothiazines can potentiate chloroquine action against resistant parasites found in natural conditions.
