General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.

Application

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Imiquimod is a caspase 3 activator, which directly induces procaspase 3 cleavage to active caspase 3. Imiquimod induces apoptosis in vivo in basal cell carcinoma. Its anti-tumor activity is related to the induction of apoptosis. Imiquimod has anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral activities. Imiquimod also acts as an immune response modulator inducing the secretion of various cytokines and chemokines.
Imiquimod is a caspase 3 activator, which directly induces procaspase 3 cleavage to active caspase 3. Imiquimod induces apoptosis in vivo and acts as an immunomodulator with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory perties.

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP and EP primary standards, where they are available.
