Adverse local reactions, including erythema, erosion, excoriation/flaking, and edema, commonly occur at the site of application of imiquimod and/or surrounding areas. These reactions usually are mild to moderate in severity; however, severe local reactions have been reported.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 3578
In controlled studies in adults with actinic keratosis, the most frequently reported local skin reactions in those receiving imiquimod 5% cream (twice weekly for 16 weeks) were erythema (97%), flaking/scaling/dryness (93%), scabbing/crusting (79%), edema (49%), erosion/ulceration (48%), weeping/exudate (22%), and vesicles (9%).1 Application site reactions (e.g., bleeding, burning, induration, irritation, pain, pruritus, stinging, tenderness) occurred in 33% of those receiving topical imiquimod compared with 14% of those receiving placebo. In these studies, 16% of patients discontinued imiquimod treatment because of local or application site reactions and 91% of these were able to resume treatment after a rest period.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 3578
Adverse dermatologic reactions at sites away from the site of application have been reported in some patients receiving topical imiquimod. Remote site reactions have included bleeding, burning, edema, erosion, erythema, excoriation/flaking, induration, pain, pruritus, tenderness, tinea cruris, and ulceration.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 3579

Imiquimod is an immune response modifier that acts as a toll-like receptor 7 agonist. Imiquimod is commonly used topically to treat warts on the skin of the genital and anal areas. Imiquimod does not cure warts, and new warts may appear during treatment. Imiquimod does not fight the viruses that cause warts directly, however, it does help to relieve and control wart production. It is not used on warts inside the vagina, penis, or rectum. Imiquimod is also used to treat a skin condition of the face and scalp called actinic keratoses. Imiquimod can also be used to treat certain types of skin cancer called superficial basal cell carcinoma. Imiquimod is particularly useful on areas where surgery or other treatments may be difficult, complicated or otherwise undesirable, especially the face and lower legs.
Adjuvants, Immunologic
Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. (See all compounds classified as Adjuvants, Immunologic.)
Antineoplastic Agents
Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents.)
Interferon Inducers
Agents that promote the production and release of interferons. They include mitogens, lipopolysaccharides, and the synthetic polymers Poly A-U and Poly I-C. Viruses, bacteria, and protozoa have been also known to induce interferons. (See all compounds classified as Interferon Inducers.)

Absorption
Well absorbed through skin (as a cream)
Following topical application to the skin in adults with actinic keratosis (75-mg doses 3 times weekly for 16 weeks), 0.08-0.15% of the dose is eliminated in urine as unchanged drug and metabolites. Following topical application in patients with HPV warts, 0.11 or 2.41% of the dose is eliminated in urine as unchanged drug and metabolites in men or women, respectively.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 3580
Imiquimod is absorbed systemically following topical application to skin. In adults with actinic keratosis who received topical imiquimod 5% cream 3 times weekly for 16 weeks, mean peak serum concentrations at the end of week 16 were approximately 0.1, 0.2, or 3.5 ng/mL in those treated on the face (12.5-mg doses), scalp (25-mg doses), or hands/arms (75-mg doses), respectively. Systemic exposure appeared to depend more on the surface area of the application site than on the total applied dose. In patients with external genital and perianal human papillomavirus (HPV) warts who received topical imiquimod 5% cream (average dose 4.6 mg), mean peak serum concentrations were 0.4 ng/mL.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 3580
20 hours (topical dose), 2 hours (subcutaneous dose)
Studies using subcutaneous imiquimod indicate the drug has an apparent half-life of 2 hours. Following topical application, imiquimod appears to be retained in the skin for prolonged periods since the half-life is approximately 10 times greater than that reported following subcutaneous administration.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 3580
Imiquimod's mechanism of action is via stimulation of innate and acquired immune responses, which ultimately leads to inflammatory cell infiltration within the field of drug application followed by apoptosis of diseased tissue. Imiquimod does not have direct antiviral activity. Studies of mice show that imiquimod may induce cytokines, including interferon-alpha (IFNA) as well as several IFNA genes (IFNA1, IFNA2, IFNA5, IFNA6, and IFNA8) as well as the IFNB gene. Imiquimod also induced the expression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor alpha genes. In the treatment of basal cell carcinoma, Imiquimod appears to act as a toll-like receptor-7 agonist, and is thought to exert its anti-tumor effect via modification of the immune response and stimulation of apoptosis in BCC cells. In treating basal cell carcinoma it may increase the infiltration of lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages into the tumor lesion.
Imiquimod and resiquimod represent Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and 8 agonists, which emerged as attractive candidates for tumor therapy. To elucidate immune cells, which mainly contribute to TLR7/8-mediated antitumoral activity, /the researchers/ investigated the impact of imiquimod and resiquimod on native human 6-sulfo LacNAc (slan) dendritic cells (DCs). /The researchers/ found that both TLR7/8 agonists significantly improve the release of various proinflammatory cytokines by slanDCs and promote their tumor-directed cytotoxic activity. Furthermore, resiquimod efficiently augmented the ability of slanDCs to stimulate T cells and natural killer cells. These results indicate that imiquimod and resiquimod trigger various immunostimulatory properties of slanDCs, which may contribute to their antitumor effects.

Aldara is a cream used for topical treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer, and is thought to act through stimulation of anti-tumour immunity. The active ingredient, imiquimod, has been shown to stimulate toll-like receptor 7. Aldara also induces psoriasis-like lesions when applied to naive murine skin, and as such is used as a mouse model for psoriasis. Here we find that in naive murine skin, Aldara induces inflammation largely independently of toll-like receptor 7. Surprisingly, inflammasome activation, keratinocyte death and interleukin 1 release also occur in response to the vehicle cream in the absence of imiquimod. We show that isostearic acid, a major component of the vehicle, promotes inflammasome activation in cultured keratinocytes, and so may contribute to the observed effects of Aldara on murine skin. Aldara therefore stimulates at least two immune pathways independently, and both imiquimod and vehicle are required for a full inflammatory response. Although it remains to be tested, it is possible that imiquimod-independent effects also contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of Aldara.

Imiquimod is recognized as an agonist for Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in immunocompetent cells. TLR7, as well as TLR3 and TLR8, triggers the immune responses, such as the production of type I interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines via recognition of viral nucleic acids in the infected cells. In this study, /the reseachers/ proposed that imiquimod has an IFN-independent antiviral effect in nonimmune cells. Imiquimod, but not resiquimod, suppressed replication of human herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) in FL cells. We analyzed alternation of gene expression by treatment with imiquimod using microarray analysis. Neither type I IFNs, nor TLRs, nor IFN-inducible antiviral genes were induced in imiquimod-treated FL cells. Cystatin A, a host cysteine protease inhibitor, was strongly upregulated by imiquimod and took a major part in the anti-HSV-1 activity deduced by the suppression experiment using its small interfering RNA. Upregulation of cystatin A was suggested to be mediated by antagonizing adenosine receptor A(1) and activating the protein kinase A pathway. Imiquimod, but not resiquimod, was shown to interact with adenosine receptor A(1). Imiquimod-induced anti-HSV-1 activity was observed in other cells, such as HeLa, SiHa, and CaSki cells, in a manner consistent with the cystatin A induction by imiquimod. These results indicated that imiquimod acted as an antagonist for adenosine receptor A(1) and induced a host antiviral protein, cystatin A. The process occurred independently of TLR7 and type I IFNs.

Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists have anticancer effect by inducing apoptosis or activating immune cells. In this study, we investigated whether imiquimod, TLR7 agonist, inhibits the proliferation of oral cancer cells. Toll-like receptor 7 expression and IL-6/8 production by imiquimod were examined using RT-PCR and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Cell viability was examined by MTT assay. To examine apoptotic cell death, Annexin V/PI staining for flow cytometry and Western blot analysis were performed. Necrotic cell death was determined by leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), HMGB1, and PI staining in imiquimod-treated oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. Toll-like receptor 7 mRNA was expressed in OSCC cells. Imiquimod induced IL-6 and IL-8 production in OSCC cells, suggesting the functional expression of TLR7. Imiquimod inhibited cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The ratio of annexin V-positive cells and cleaved caspase-3/7 was increased by imiquimod treatment in OSCC cells, suggesting that imiquimod-induced cell death in OSCC cells may be owing to apoptosis. In addition, LDH secretion and PI staining were detected in OSCC cells treated with imiquimod, showing that imiquimod also induced necrotic cell death in the OSCC cells. Imiquimod inhibited effectively the growth of OSCC cells by inducing apoptosis and necrosis.
