list the keratolytics
salicylic acid
benzoyl peroxide
how does salicylic acid work?
reduction of corneocyte adhesion- unroof pustules and let skin heal below
forms of salicylic acid
wash, gel, plaster (zinc oxide)
benzoyl peroxide forms, dosages
wash, lotion, cream, gel
2.5%-10%
benzoyl peroxide which are more active?
gels. water-based gels are less irritating
pearls about benzoyl peroxide
5% absorbed through skin
metabolized to benzoic acid in skin
rapid systemic renal clearance => no drug accumulation/toxicity
used for acne, foliculotis
benzoyl peroxide activity/ mechanism
broad spectrum bactericidial agent
oxidizing activity
inhibits triglyceride hydrolysis, dec inflammation, keratolytic, comedolytic
enhanced activity in combo with clindamycin or erythromycin
may oxidize tretinoin if applied together
benzoyl peroxide AEs
irritant dermatitis, burning, peeling, erythema, dryness
contact allergy
clindamycin
-deriviative of:
-forms:
-___ systemically absorbed
der. of lincomycin (streptomyces)
alcohol solution, lotion, gel
lotion is less irritating, less drying
4-5% systemically absorbed
clindamycin-activity
bactericidal/static
broad spectrum- aerobic gram (+) and anaerobic gram (+)/(-)
irreversible binding of the bacterial 50s ribosome subunit
inhibits bact protein synthesis
clindamycin- AEs
local reactions due to vehiclie
pseudomembranous colitis
erythromycin-
-forms
-mechanism
-type of bacteria
macrolide abx- S. erythraeus
alcohol soln, gel, ointment
bactericidial
binds 50s ribosomal subunit preventing protein synthesis
gram (+) bact
metronidazole
-type
-mechanism
-formulations
-which bact
used commonly for what?
synthetic nitroimidazole abx
DNA disruption, inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis
gel/cream
gram (+)/(-) + anaerobes
used more commonly for rosacea
3 retinoids
tretinoin
adapalene
tazarotene
tretinoin
MOA
therapeutic effect
AEs
-gene transcription affects growth and differentiation; normalizes follicular epithelial differentiation
-comedolysis
-irritation, erythemia, desquamation
Adapalene
-MOA
-therapeutic effect
-AEs
-normalizes differentiation of follicular epithelial cells
comedolysis- unroof keratin top
-irritation, erythema, desquamation, pruritis, burning
tazarotene
-MOA
-therapeutic effect
-blocks induction of ornithidine decarboxylase with less cell proliferation, suppresses MRPB- psoriasis inflammation, inhibitis corneocyte accumulation in skin
-comedolysis, normalization of differentiation and proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes in psoriasis
imiquimod
immunoenhancing drug
binds toll 7 receptor
potent inducer of cytokines
antiviral, antitumor activity
negligible systemic absorption
4 anti-inflammatory drugs
corticosteroids
calcineurin inhibitors
vitamin D Analogs
antibiotics
topical corticosteroids
-potency determined by ____
-formulations
-potency determined by vasoconstrictor assay
-correlates well with clinical efficacy
-reproducibile
-gel, alcohol solution, cream, ointment, foam, shampoo
corticosteroid MOA
-diffuses into cell and binds GCR in cytoplasm
-corticosteroid-GCR complex undergoes conformational changes
-active complex traverses into nucleus and binds to DNA
-gene regulation and transcription of specific mRNA
-GCR found in almost all mammalian cells
corticosteroid antiinflammatory effects
-affects every aspect of cutaneous inflammation
-inflammatory cells
-chemical mediators
-tissue responses
corticosteroid AEs
irreversible thinning of skin
thick striae
systemic: suppression of HPA axis, Cushing's syndrome, growth retardation
local: epidermal atrophy, rebound, tachyphylaxis, perioral dermatitis
occular cataract, narrow angle glaucoma
corticosteroids: antiproliferative and atrophogenic
reduction of epidermal mitotic activity: flattening of basal layer, thinning of stratum corneum, keratinocyte ultrastructure

inhibition of fibroblast proliferation, migration, chemotaxis, protein synthesis- synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and collagen inhibited, late: reduction of elastin and collagen fibers
tacrolimus/pimecrolimus
macrolide lactone
no alteration of collagen synthesis
no atrophy
direct effect on T lymphocytes- inhibit IL-2 transcription -> reduces responsiveness to foreign antigen
with fewer side effects, doesn't work as well. good for maintaining skin, not clearing skin
vit D analogs used for
psoriasis
what are the two vit D analogs?
calcipotriene
calcitrol
calcipotriene- description
synthetic analog of calcitriol
binds VDR with same affinity as calcitrol but less active on calcium metabolism
Vit D description
binds VDR to regulate cell growth, differentiation, and immune function
also calcium and phosphorus metabolism
VDR belongs to family of nuclear receptors including corticosteroid, and retinoic acid receptors
inhibits keratinocyte proliferation and modulates epidermal diffrentiation
inhibits production of IL-2, IL-6, IFN-gamma, GM-CSF
inhibits cytotoxic and natural killer T cell activity
