Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause life-threatening invasive fungal infections. As its prevalence and drug resistance continue to rise, cryptococcosis requires new treatment options. Tapping into the potential antifungal effects of traditional drugs or combination therapy has become one of the options. This study was the first to examine the interaction of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and itraconazole (ITR) on Cryptococcus neoformans in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that HCQ alone and in combination with ITR exhibited antifungal activity against C. neoformans planktonic cells. When HCQ was combined with ITR, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of HCQ decreased to 32 μg/mL, and the MIC value of ITR decreased from 0.25 μg/mL to 0.06-0.25 μg/mL. The time-killing curve showed that the combined application of HCQ and ITR significantly shortened the killing time, dynamically defining the antifungal activity. The minimum biofilm clearance concentration (MBEC) of HCQ was only 32 μg/mL, which was significantly lower than the MIC of HCQ for planktonic cells. When combined with ITR, the MBEC of ITR decreased from 128 μg/mL to 2-1 μg/mL, and the MBEC of HCQ decreased from 32 μg/mL to 4 μg/mL, indicating a synergistic antifungal biofilm effect. In comparison to ITR alone, the combination of HCQ and ITR treatment increased the survival of C. neoformans-infected Galleria mellonella larvae and decreased the fungal burden of infected larvae. Mechanistic investigations revealed that HCQ might damage C. neoformans cell membranes, impact the structure of fungal cells, cause extracellular material leakage, and have a potent affinity for attaching to the C. neoformans genomic DNA. In conclusion, HCQ has potential clinical application in the treatment of cryptococcosis.
