Imiquimod is an imidazoquinoline agonist of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7; EC50 = 2.12 μM).{23982} It increases TNF-α and IL-12 p40 production in IFN-γ-treated murine peritoneal macrophages in a concentration- and MyD88-dependent manner.{23979} Topical application of imiquimod (30 μl of 5% cream) increases TNF and IFN levels at the application site in hairless mice.{43540} Imiquimod dose-dependently increases serum levels of IFN-α in mice when administered by gavage.{43541} It reduces tumor growth in an MC-26 model of murine colon cancer when administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg every three days. Imiquimod (5 mg/kg, intravaginally, twice daily) reduces vaginal viral titer and lesion formation in a guinea pig model of genital HSV-2 infection.{43542} Formulations containing imiquimod have been used in the treatment of actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and external genital warts.
