Resiquimod (R-848) is a drug that acts as an immune response modifier, and has antiviral and antitumour activity. It is used as a topical cream in the treatment of skin lesions[1] such as those caused by herpes simplex virus,[2][3] and as an adjuvant to increase the effectiveness of vaccines.[4] It has several mechanisms of action, being both an agonist for toll-like receptor 7 and 8,[5] and an upregulator of the opioid growth factor receptor.[6]
