Description: | Gardiquimod, an imidazoquinoline analog, is a TLR7/8 agonist. Gardiquimod could inhibit HIV-1 infection of macrophages and activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Gardiquimod specifically activates TLR7 when used at concentrations below 10 μM[1][2]. |
Target: | TLR7 TLR8 HIV-1 |
In Vivo: | Dendritic cells (DCs) in combination with Gardiquimod (1 mg/kg per mouse; i.p.; daily for 7 days) improves the anti-tumor effects of NK cells[2]. Animal Model: Male athymic nude mice (Balb-nu/nu, 5 weeks old) (bearing human HepG2 liver carcinoma xenografts)[2] Dosage: 1 mg/kg per mouse Administration: i.p.; daily for 7 days Result: Significantly suppressed the growth of human HepG2 liver carcinoma xenografts. |
In Vitro: | Gardiquimod (6-60 μM ) significantly inhibits cDNA synthesis by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase[1]. |
