Briefly, chloroquine, apart from disorganizing the Golgi, induces lysosomal alkalinization, which prevents amphisome/autophagosome-lysosome fusion and blocks the vesicle trafficking system [53] [54] [55] 93] , which potentially affects the replication cycle of coronavirus systemically, including their entry, which is mediated by pH-dependent endocytosis and requires a low pH for the S protein to trigger its membrane fusion activity [94, 95] . Nitazoxanide is another late-stage autophagy blocker [96] that shows high anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in cell cultures (IC 50 : 2.12 µM) [97] , although it should be considered that its main metabolite, tizoxanide, induces autophagy by inhibiting the PI3K-AKT-MTOR pathway [98] . ./cache/cord-298920-1lc2xf7u.txt ./txt/cord-298920-1lc2xf7u.txt
