Topical 3% BMS-509744 reduced ear thickening and histological inflammation in a mouse imiquimod model. In a separate application-site comparison, treatment on the inflamed ear reduced thickening, whereas application on the opposite ear did not significantly improve the affected ear. These findings concern local treatment in this model. [3]
Topical treatment reduces imiquimod-induced skin inflammation
Animal study · 7–8-week-old female BALB/c mice with topical imiquimod-induced left-ear psoriasis-like inflammation [3]
Topical BMS-509744 reduced day-5 ear thickening and histological inflammation relative to IMQ/vehicle controls. Ear thickness used 10 mice/group; histology used 5 mice/group. These endpoints belong to the same treatment design.

- Topical, front and back of left ear
- Frequency
- Once daily, 1 h before imiquimod
- Treatment course
- Days 1–4; outcome on day 5
- Vehicle

Application-site control limits systemic interpretation
Animal study · 7–8-week-old female BALB/c mice with topical imiquimod-induced left-ear psoriasis-like inflammation [3]
In a separate application-site comparison, BMS-509744 applied to the inflamed left ear reduced its thickening; applying it to the untreated right ear did not significantly reduce left-ear thickening. The result supports a local effect under this regimen, without measuring systemic exposure.
