Product Description

Resiquimod (formerly known as R-848; S-28463; VML-600; R848, S27609) is a potent imidazoquinolinamine-based immune response modifier that acts as an agonist of the TLR 7/8 receptors (Toll-like receptor 7/8) with antiviral and antitumour activity. It can induce the levels of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-α. Resiquimod is the analogue of imiquimod (also called R-837,S-26308) with potential immunostimulatory activity. Resiquimod has been reported to dose-dependently induce cytokines including IFN, TNF, IL-1β and IL-6 in human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs). In addition, Resiquimod has been revealed to stimulate intracellular IL-1β increased approximately 15%. The results have also been noted that both monocytes and B cells produced IFN in response to Resiquimod. On April 28, 2016, orphan designation (EU/3/16/1653) was granted by the European Commission to resiquimod for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Resiquimod (R-848) causes circulating T cells (including TH2 effectors) that are specific to haptens and allergens to produce IFN-γ and even lose their capacity to produce IL-4 [2]. In BrdU incorporation experiments, resiquimod (R848) increases the number of BrdU-positive cells and, in a dose-dependent manner, boosts PBL proliferation. The reporter of NF-κB activity, luciferase, significantly increased (3.5-fold) in cells treated with R848 [3].
ln Vivo
Rats and mice can be utilized as models for immune-mediated cardiac tissue injury and cytokine production with Resiquimod in animal modeling. In SPF chickens, the intramuscular injection of Resiquimod (R-848) at a dose of 50 μg/bird dramatically increased the production of IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-4, iNOS, and MHC-II genes [1].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in saline; 50 nmol; i.p. injection

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.95 mM) (saturation unknown) in 5% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 50% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
