Cytokine blocking agents in dermatology.

Clinical and experimental dermatology, 2002
Cytokines are intercellular messengers that have an important role in the development and maintenance of cutaneous inflammation. The primacy of cytokines in eliciting cutaneous immune responses makes them a highly attractive target for new biological response modifiers. Targeting of cytokines is still in its infancy for therapy of skin disease. However,

BioDrugs, 1997
Immune mechanisms play a central role in various diseases such as eczema and psoriasis, and in the past treatment tended to involve corticosteroids and cytostatic drugs.

Evaluation of Retinoids as Therapeutic Agents in Dermatology

Pharmaceutical Research, 1994
Evaluation of 13-cis-12-substituted analogues of retinoic acid in a series of dermatologic screens has revealed that structural modifications can lead to selectivity and specificity. An analogue, 11-cis,13-cis-12-hydroxymethylretinoic acid, delta-lactone, has been found to have good activity and to be devoid of topical and systemic toxicity.
