Imiquimod enhances excitability of dorsal root ganglion neurons by inhibiting background (K<sub>2P</sub>) and voltage-gated (K<sub>v</sub>1.1 and K<sub>v</sub>1.2) potassium channels
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Imiquimod (IQ) is known as an agonist of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and is widely used to treat various infectious skin diseases. However, it causes severe itching sensation as its side effect. The precise mechanism of how IQ causes...
