摘要: Imiquimod (trade name Aldara™) is a small molecule of the imidazoquinoline family, group nucleoside analogs that were first synthesized as potential antiviral agents. It has since been discovered to activate both innate and adaptive immunity, well apoptosis. Clinically, it approved for three indications thus far: external genital warts, actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma. In addition these applications, number off-label uses have reported in literature. this review, we summarize discuss literature describing imiquimod’s mechanism action, its clinical uses, safety tolerability.
