Anthralin
Administration, Topical
The application of drug preparations to the surfaces of the body, especially the skin (ADMINISTRATION, CUTANEOUS) or mucous membranes. This method of treatment is used to avoid systemic side effects when high doses are required at a localized area or as an alternative systemic administration route, to avoid hepatic processing for example.
Psoriasis
A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

Topical psoriasis therapy. (1/36)
Psoriasis is a common dermatosis, affecting from 1 to 3 percent of the population. Until recently, the mainstays of topical therapy have been corticosteroids, tars, anthralins and keratolytics. Recently, however, vitamin D analogs, a new anthralin preparation and topical retinoids have expanded physicians' therapeutic armamentarium. These new topical therapies offer increased hope and convenience to the large patient population with psoriasis. (+info)Anti-psoriatic drug anthralin activates JNK via lipid peroxidation: mononuclear cells are more sensitive than keratinocytes. (2/36)
Anthralin is a widely used, topical therapy for psoriasis. Anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory properties of anthralin have been identified. Little is known, however, about differential sensitivities of targeted cell types and specific mechanisms of signaling pathway activation. We demonstrate that anthralin exerts potent effects on keratinocytes and mononuclear cells through strong induction of lipid peroxidation and JNK activation, a stress-induced signal transduction pathway. Lipid peroxidation was observed rapidly and half-maximal levels of lipid peroxidation were reached at a 10-fold lower concentration of anthralin for peripheral blood mononuclear cells vs normal keratinocytes. JNK activation was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells at a 40-fold lower anthralin dose compared with keratinocytes. For both cell types, selected inhibitors of lipid peroxidation prevented JNK activation. This study demonstrates that mononuclear leukocytes are markedly more sensitive than keratinocytes to anthralin-induced lipid peroxidation and JNK activation. We identify anthralin as a novel and potent inducer of JNK activation and demonstrate that this process is mediated, at least in part, by lipid peroxidation which is among the earliest and most proximate, membrane-related responses to anthralin yet described. (+info)Nonspecific inhibition of DNA repair synthesis by tumor promoters in human diploid fibroblasts damaged with N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene. (3/36)
The effects of selected tumor-promoting agents and their nonpromoting analogs on DNA repair synthesis were examined in human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38) damaged with N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene. Over a range of doses, three promoters (croton oil, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, and anthralin) were found to inhibit DNA repair synthesis while their nonpromoting analogs (phorbol and 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone) had little effect. Another tumor promoter, phenol, inhibited DNA repair synthesis only at very high concentrations while an analog, 4-nitrophenol, produced inhibition of DNA repair synthesis at molar concentrations at which phenol had no effect. To investigate the specificity of this phenomenon, the effects of these agents on DNA-replicative synthesis, RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and cell morphology were evaluated. At equimolar concentrations, tumor promoters were found to inhibit DNA-replicative synthesis as effectively as repair synthesis. RNA and protein synthesis were similarly inhibited over the same range of concentrations. Extensive morphological changes, interpreted as evidence of toxicity, were seen at concentrations of promoters that inhibited the macromolecular syntheses studied. The nonpromoting analogs, with the exception of nitrophenol, had little effect on these processes and showed only slight morphological damage. Thus tumor-promoting agents appeared to inhibit a number of macromolecular synthetic events, including DNA repair synthesis. It is suggested that the effect of tumor promoters on DNA repair synthesis is part of a general response to cellular injury rather than a selective response involving a single metabolic pathway. Furthermore, it is unlikely that the inhibition of repair synthesis represents the major mode of action of promoting agents in the carcinogenic process. (+info)A highly decreased binding of cyclic adenosine monophosphate to protein kinase A in erythrocyte membranes is specific for active psoriasis. (4/36)
A cyclic adenosine monophosphate binding abnormality in psoriatic erythrocytes that could be corrected by retinoid treatment has been reported. It was tested whether this binding abnormality is specific for psoriasis and the effects of treatment were compared with etretinate, cyclosporine A, or anthralin on 2-(3)H-8-N(3)-cyclic adenosine monophosphate binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A in erythrocyte membranes. One hundred and fifteen individuals were evaluated, including: (i) 34 healthy persons; (ii) 15 patients with nonatopic inflammatory skin diseases (eczema, erythroderma, tinea, Grover's disease, erysipelas, urticaria); (iii) eight with other dermatoses mediated by immune mechanisms (systemic lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, necrotizing vasculitis, erythema nodosum, systemic sclerosis); (iv) 14 with generalized atopic dermatitis; and (v) 44 with psoriasis vulgaris clinically assessed by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index. In psoriasis, the course of the binding of 2-(3)H-8-N(3)-cyclic adenosine monophosphate to erythrocytes was measured in nine patients during a 10 wk treatment with etretinate, in 21 patients during a 10 wk treatment with cyclosporine A, and one patient under topical treatment with anthralin for 4 wk. We found the following femtomolar binding per mg protein: (i) healthy persons (1064 +/- 124, mean +/- SD); (ii) nonatopic inflammatory skin diseases (995 +/- 103); (iii) immune dermatoses (961 +/- 92); (iv) atopic dermatitis (960 +/- 110); and (v) psoriasis (645 +/- 159; p < 0.0001 compared with nonpsoriatics, Mann-Whitney U test). Treatment of psoriasis with etretinate, cyclosporine A, or anthralin normalized the binding of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which was inversely correlated to the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score. It was concluded that the decreased binding of cyclic adenosine monophosphate to protein kinase A in erythrocytes is specific for psoriasis and normalizes after successful treatment. (+info)A systematic review of adverse effects associated with topical treatments for psoriasis. (5/36)
Mild to moderate psoriasis is a disease that can often be treated with topical medications. The diversity of topical therapies and their disparate side effects complicates treatment planning. Our purpose is to compare the rates of adverse events associated with different topical psoriasis treatments. A review of medical literature from 1996 to March, 2002 was conducted using guidelines set by QUORUM statement criteria. In monotherapy studies, corticosteriods caused fewer adverse reactions compared to vitamin D analogues and tazarotene. In combination studies adverse event rates were higher than in monotherapy studies, except for the combination of topical steroid and calcipotriene which decreased irritation. Irritant contact dermatitis was the main side effect with vitamin D analogues, tazarotene, dithranol or coal tar, while side effects of topical corticosteriods included headache, viral infection and skin atrophy. Topical agents for psoriasis are usually well-tolerated without severe side effects. Formulating a patient's medication regimen should take into account the needs for short-term management and long-term control of psoriasis. Since clearance is not a realistic expectation, reasonable goals should be set as excessive use of topical treatments may increase the risk of both cutaneous and systemic side effects. (+info)Cytokines and signal transduction pathways mediated by anthralin in alopecia areata-affected Dundee experimental balding rats. (6/36)
Although many therapeutic modalities have been tested on alopecia areata, patient outcomes have been disappointing. Use of animal models would help to develop more efficient therapies as well as understanding therapeutic mechanisms. We have demonstrated that 0.1% topical anthralin ointment is 100% effective in restoring follicular activity in Dundee experimental balding rats. This is the most promising topical treatment for Dundee experimental balding rats among the therapeutic agents tested on this model. Various cytokines have been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of alopecia areata. To test whether any of these cytokines might be modulated by anthralin, an RNase protection assay and the real-time polymerase chain reaction were performed to compare their expression between anthralin-treated and control skins. These experiments showed that expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma was inhibited by anthralin, whereas expression of interleukin-1alpha/beta and their receptor antagonist, interleukin-1Ra, and interleukin-10 was stimulated by anthralin. In addition, using an antibody-based multi-immunoblotting technique, we found that certain signaling regulatory proteins were modulated by anthralin. Their potential roles in reversing the autoimmune-arrested follicular activity in Dundee experimental balding rats are discussed. (+info)Old wine in new bottles: reviving old therapies for alopecia areata using rodent models. (7/36)
Alopecia areata is regarded as a tissue-restricted autoimmune disease of hair follicles in which follicular activity is arrested because of the continued activity of lymphocytic infiltrates. Actual loss of hair follicles does not occur, even in hairless lesions. A variety of immunomodulating therapies, including contact sensitizers and immunomodulators, are part of the usual armamentarium for this disorder. None of these treatments have been consistent in their efficacy, and many have untoward side effects. Nevertheless, their uses in valid animal models provide a tool to dissect out molecular mechanisms of therapeutic effects. For several decades, both mechlorethamine (for the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma) and anthralin (for the treatment of psoriasis) have been used successfully. When these therapies were tested in rat and mouse alopecia areata models, we found anthralin and mechlorethamine to be the most effective topical modalities, respectively. The underlying cellular mechanisms may act through targeting infiltrative lymphocytes, and the molecular mechanisms may involve specific cytokine expression changes. These visible, accessible, and unilaterally treated animal model systems are ideal for studying novel alopecia areata therapies, particularly in terms of their in vivo molecular mechanisms of action. (+info)Anthralin, a non-TPA type tumor promoter, synergistically enhances phorbol ester-caused prostaglandin E2 release from primary cultured mouse epidermal cells. (8/36)
Primary cultures of mouse epidermal cells (i.e., target cells of skin tumor promotion) stimulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) release prostaglandin E2 within 30 min. Anthralin, a non-TPA type tumor promoter, also stimulated PGE2 release; however, no release was detectable at least up to 4 hr after the addition of anthralin. When the cells were incubated with TPA plus anthralin, both PGE2 and arachidonic acid release were synergistically enhanced. Other non-TPA type tumor promoters, i.e., chrysarobin, 7-bromomethylbenz[a]anthracene, benzoylperoxide, okadaic acid and palytoxin, did not potentiate the TPA-caused PGE2 release. In protein kinase C-down regulated cells, the synergistic stimulation of PGE2 and arachidonic acid release by TPA plus anthralin were not detected. Anthralin plus TPA did not alter the incorporation of arachidonic acid into cellular phospholipids. Cellular cyclooxygenase activity was increased 2 hr after TPA stimulation. Anthralin-caused increase in cyclooxygenase activity was detected at 6 hr after the addition of anthralin. Cyclooxygenase activity was synergistically increased by treating the cells with TPA plus anthralin. Cycloheximide and actinomycin D inhibited the increase in cyclooxygenase activity caused by anthralin or TPA plus anthralin. These results indicate that anthralin synergistically stimulates TPA-caused PGE2 release by synergistically increasing arachidonic acid release and cellular cyclooxygenase activity. (+info)
