Description
Resiquimod is an imidazoquinoline compound that is a TLR7/8 agonist. Resiquimod has been shown to activate dendritic cells in both healthy and inflamed skin, making it effective to induce regression of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma lesions. BALB/c mice treated with resiquimod showed high levels of resistance against parasitic infection. Furthermore, resiquimod has been shown to produce cardioprotective effects in anoxia-regeneration injuries of neonatal cardiomyocytes.
