生化机理 |
Imiquimod is a derivative of imidazoquinolinamine that inhibits angiogenesis and is an immune response modifier. Studies have reported that Imiquimod has the ability to downregulate metastasis and induce alpha-interferon (IFN-α). Additionally, Imiquimod is a TLR7 (toll-like receptor 7) agonist which induces plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) maturation. Imiquimod acts on dendritic cells expressing TLR7, and induces an immune response. Nuclear factor-B helps mediate the activity of Imiquimod, and is involved in increasing chemokine and cytokine levels. The antiangiogenic property of Imiquimod has been shown to be mediated by IL-18. Research shows that Imiquimod can induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Also suggested to be an activator of caspase-3 and NFκB. |
