Bioactivity | 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[1][2]. |
Invitro | Gardiquimod diTFA (6-60 μM ) significantly inhibits cDNA synthesis by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase[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: |
