Gardiquimod diTFA, an imidazoquinoline analog, is a TLR7/8 agonist. Gardiquimod diTFA could inhibit HIV-1 infection of macrophages and activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Gardiquimod diTFA specifically activates TLR7 when used at concentrations below 10 μM
In Vitro
Gardiquimod diTFA (6-60 μM ) significantly inhibits cDNA synthesis by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
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. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Animal Model: Male athymic nude mice (Balb-nu/nu, 5 weeks old) (bearing human HepG2 liver carcinoma xenografts)Dosage: 1 mg/kg per mouse Administration: i.p.; daily for 7 days Result: Significantly suppressed the growth of human HepG2 liver carcinoma xenografts.
