Calcineurin inhibitors in the treatment of allergic dermatitis

Abstract: Objective: To review the role of calcineurin inhibitors in the treatment of allergic dermatitis, focusing on mechanisms of action, efficacy and topical and systemic adverse effects.Sources: Articles written in English and published in MEDLINE using the following keywords: pimecrolimus, tacrolimus, calcineurin inhibitors. Original articles that presented controlled and open studies for assessing efficacy, tolerability and adverse effects were selected. Review articles and case series were also evaluated; the la… Show more

“…When activated, it acts as a transcription factor for cytokines, such as interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factorealfa (TNFa). 21 Compared to healthy controls, patients with vitiligo have elevated IL-10, TNFa, and interferon-gamma. Treatment with tacrolimus decreases tissue counts of TNFa 22 and enhances melanocyte and melanoblast proliferation.…”

“…30 Atualmente, as terapias convencionais baseiam-se no tratamento com a classe de inibidores de calcineurina, fármaco responsável pela inibição da proteína calcineurina. 31 Essa proteína está presente em diversas células do sistema imunológico, e, quando induzida, age transcrevendo fatores de inflamação, como as interleucinas. 32 Um dos mecanismos dos glicocorticoides, potente antiinflamatório, utilizado para outras diversas doenças, é a transrepressão, que atua juntamente com seus receptores, ligando-se a fatores transicionais, como proteína ativadora 1 e NF-KB, impossibilitando-os de realizar suas funções.…”
