Quadrol is an immunostimulant and has been implicated as a potentially useful agent in accelerated wound healing.

Results show that viability of macrophages incubated with Quadrol at concentrations of 0.5 mM, 1 mM and 4mM are identical to that for controls. Viability, however, is reduced to 50% of control at concentrations of 16 mM to 32 mM. After four hours, at concentrations of 1 mM and 4 mM, Quadrol produces enhanced spreading of 88% and 80%, respectively, as compared to the control of 28%. Quadrol, at a concentration of 16 mM, shows reduced percentage of spreading of macrophages after four hours. Exposure of macrophages to 1.0 mM or 4.0 mM Quadrol concentrations enhances phagocytic activity, 41% and 57%, respectively, over that of the cells exposed to media alone (34%)^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

On day eight after the implantation, the amount of collagen in the implants of normal mice injected with Quadrol exceeds controls by more than 200% (p<0.025). By day 11, the collagen content increases to over 300% higher than controls (p<0.01) and by the end of two weeks after wounding, the time interval typically required for normal and complete wound healing, the collagen accumulated in the implants of the Quadrol-treated mice is about 50% above control (p<0.1). The accumulation of collagen in the implants of Quadrol treated STZ-diabetic mice about 100% above the untreated diabetic control on days 8 to 11. By day 14, the collagen deposition has increased to 200% above the controls (p<0.0 5)^[2].
