AB  - Topical  immunomodulators  are  nonsteroidal  agents  that  target  the  immune  system  for  therapeutic  effect  in  the  skin.  The  macrolactams,  pimecrolimus  and  tacrolimus,  act  as  anti-inflammatory  agents  by  binding  immunophilin  and  inhibiting  cytokine  production.  The  imidazoquinoline  amine,  imiquimod,  induces  interferon  (IFN)  production  and  enhances  immune  responses,  although  several  more  potent  analogs  are  under  clinical  investigation.
