Discovery of the potent non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor modulator BAY 1003803 as clinical candidate.
Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett..
2020 Aug 15, 30, (16):127298.
We report on the discovery of the new clinical candidate BAY 1003803 as glucocorticoid receptor agonist for the topical treatment of psoriasis or severe atopic dermatitis. In the course of optimizing the amino alcohol series as a highly potent new non-steroidal lead structure, considerations were made as to how physicochemical properties and safety concerns relate to structural motifs. BAY 1003803 demonstrates strong anti-inflammatory activity in vitro paired with a pharmacokinetic profile (...)

Immobilization of papain enzyme on a hybrid support containing zinc oxide nanoparticles and chitosan for clinical applications.
Carbohydr Polym.
2020 Sep 01, 243:116498.
A new hybrid bionanomaterial composed of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and chitosan was constructed after enzymatic immobilization of papain for biomedical applications. In this work, we report the preparation and characterization steps of this bionanomaterial and its biocompatibility in vitro. The properties of the immobilized papain system were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential, DLS, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and X-ray (...)

Tackling the various classes of nano-therapeutics employed in topical therapy of psoriasis.
Drug Deliv.
2020 Dec , 27, (1):662-680.
Psoriasis is a dermatological chronic skin condition with underlying autoimmune etiology. It deeply affects patients' quality of life. Therefore, it was an interesting target for researchers throughout the past years. Conventionally, the treatment options include anti-inflammatory agents, immune suppressants, biologic treatment, and phototherapy. Nanotechnology offers promising characteristics that allow for tailoring a drug carrier to achieve dermal targeting, improved efficacy and (...)

Diagnostic Models for Atopic Dermatitis Based on Serum Microbial Extracellular Vesicle Metagenomic Analysis: A Pilot Study.
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res.
2020 Sep , 12, (5):792-805.
Associations between a wide variety of diseases and the microbiome have been extensively verified. Recently, there has been a rising interest in the role the microbiome plays in atopic dermatitis (AD). Furthermore, metagenomic analysis of microbe-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) has revealed the importance and relevance of microbial EVs in human health.

Mitochondrial and Nuclear Mitochondrial Variants in Allergic Diseases.
Jang H et al.
Mitochondrial and Nuclear Mitochondrial Variants in Allergic Diseases.
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res.
2020 Sep , 12, (5):877-884.
The mitochondrial genome encodes core catalytic peptides that affect major metabolic processes within a cell. Here, we investigated the association between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants and allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma, alongside heteroplasmy within the mtDNA in subjects with allergic sensitization. We collected genotype data from 973 subjects with allergic sensitization, consisting of 632 children with AD, 498 children with asthma, and 481 healthy (...)

Update on canine filaggrin: a review.
Vet Q.
2020 Dec , 40, (1):162-168.
Human filaggrin (FLG) plays a key role in epidermal barrier function, and loss-of-function mutations of its gene are primarily responsible for the development of human atopic dermatitis (AD). FLG expression is also reduced in the epidermis of atopic patients, due to the transcriptional effect of Th2 type cytokines. Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a prevalent skin disease that shares many clinical and pathogenic features with its human homologue. The aim of this review is discuss current (...)
