Description
  • Immune response modulator [1, 2].
  • Anti-inflammatory [3, 5].
  • TLR7 agonist [3, 5].
  • Stimulates proinflammatory cytokine production interferon-α (IFN-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and activates NF-κB [3, 5].
  • Caspase-3 activator that directly induces procaspase-3 cleavage [4].
  • Anti-cancer compound [4, 9].
  • Apoptosis inducer [4, 9].
  • Antiproliferative, independent of immune system activation or function.
  • Antiviral [10] and anti-angiogenic [6, 7, 8].
  • Approved treatment for external genital warts (Condyloma acuminata) caused by human papillomavirus infection [10].
