Yes, liquid anaerobic adhesives such as Loctite 243 affect torque in a similar way to Coppaslip, i.e. you should apply a reduction of 20% as a rough rule of thumb to achieve the desired figure.

Patchlok bolts as per original fitment is a semisolid anaerobic preapplied to the bolt thread, and as a semisolid can be treated as a dry fastener as far as torque is concerned.
