Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Gardiquimod is a chemical compound which acts selectively at both mouse and human forms of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7). It functions as an immune response modifier. The core structure is 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline, as found in related drugs such as imiquimod and resiquimod. It is structurally very similar to resiquimod differing only by an oxygen for nitrogen switch.

Product Data
Biological target:
Gardiquimod diTFA, an imidazoquinoline analog, is a TLR7/8 agonist.
In vitro activity:
Treatment of macrophages with gardiquimod on day 5 of culture, followed by infection with HIV-1Ba-L on day 8, significantly reduced levels of HIV-1 DNA in the cells (p≤0.001) at all gardiquimod concentrations tested compared to untreated controls, as determined on day 4 postinfection (Fig. 1). Reference: AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 2013 Jun;29(6):907-18. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23316755/
In vivo activity:
GDQ (gardiquimod) infusion was associated with sustained moderate hypertension that resolved after 72 h recovery. Electrophysiologically, GDQ infusion was associated with reduced number and burden of postasphyxial seizures in preterm fetal sheep in the first 18 h of recovery (p < 0.05). Subsequently, GDQ was associated with induction of slow rhythmic epileptiform discharges (EDs) from 72 to 96 h of recovery (p < 0.05 vs asphyxia + vehicle). The total burden of EDs was associated with reduced numbers of neurons in the caudate nucleus (r2 = 0.61, p < 0.05) and CA1/2 hippocampal region (r2 = 0.66, p < 0.05). These data demonstrate that TLR7 activation by GDQ modulated blood pressure and suppressed seizures in the early phase of postasphyxial recovery, with subsequent prolonged induction of epileptiform activity.
