Abstract:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common T-helper 2 (Th2) lymphocyte-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by disturbed epidermal differentiation (e.g., filaggrin (FLG) expression) and diminished skin barrier function. Therapeutics targeting the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), such as coal tar and tapinarof, are effective in AD, yet new receptor ligands with improved potency or bioavailability are in demand to expand the AHR-targeting therapeutic arsenal. We found that carboxamide derivatives fro… Show more
