APPLICATIONS

Imiquimod , an imidazoquinolinamine, is a an immune response modifier as a potential antiviral and anti-tumour agent stimulating the release of nonantibody protein called cytokine, a generic term of soluble peptides (molecular weight less than 100 kilodaltons) that are released by some cells on contact with specific antigen to act as intercellular mediators and as in the generation of an immune response, serving as intercellular signals. Imiquimod is used to treat external warts called condyloma acuminatum and to treat a skin condition of the face and scalp called actinic keratoses.
