Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment, as well as the inhibition and prevention, of an infection of the papillomavirus and the epithelial lesions, namely, the warts of the skin and mucosal surfaces, associated therewith, in a mammalian host, as well as methods of inhibiting the replication of a papillomavirus in an infected cell, are provided. The compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of an active ingredient comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, amodiaquine, or in each case, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The methods comprise topically administering a therapeutically and/or antivirally effective amount of such a compound to a mammalian host, such as a human being, in need of such treatment, although alternatively other routes of administration may be used, including but not limited to transdermal, transmucosal, respiratory, and by injection.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment of Bowen's disease, an orphan disease, are described. In addition, compositions and methods for the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), an orphan disease, are described. Compositions and methods for the treatment of stage 1 melanoma are also described. The compositions comprise one or more active ingredients selected from the group consisting of: chloroquine, amodiaquine, and an antibiotic such as metronidazole. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of such compositions to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment, as well as the inhibition and prevention, of an infection of the human papillomavirus and the epithelial lesions, namely, the warts of the skin and mucosal surfaces, associated therewith. The compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of an active ingredient comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, amodiaquine, or in each case, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The methods comprise topically administering a therapeutically and/or antivirally effective amount of such a compound to a human being in need of such treatment, although in certain of the compounds may alternatively be administered subcutaneously or transdermally. The compositions may optionally also comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable non-active ingredients.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment, as well as the inhibition and prevention, of an infection of the human papillomavirus and the epithelial lesions, namely, the warts of the skin and mucosal surfaces, associated therewith. The compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of an active ingredient comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine combined with amodiaquine, and hydroxychloroquine combined with amodiaquine, or in each case, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The methods comprise topically administering a therapeutically and/or antivirally effective amount of such a compound to a human being in need of such treatment, although in certain of the compounds may alternatively be administered subcutaneously or transdermally.
