Antivirals for systemic use

• Imiquimod acts as an immune response modifier.
• White or very pale yellow crystal powder.
• It stimulates cytokine production, especially interferon production, and exhibits antitumor activity, particularly against cutaneous cancers. Imiquimod's proapoptotic activity appears to be related to Bcl-2 overexpression in susceptible tumor cells.
