  • Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions Caused by Drug Excipients: a Literature Review Caballero ML, Quirce S
    REVIEWS Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions Caused by Drug Excipients: A Literature Review Caballero ML, Quirce S Department of Allergy, La Paz University Hospital, IdiPAZ, Madrid, Spain J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol 2020; Vol. 30(2): 86-100 doi: 10.18176/jiaci.0476 Abstract The European Medicines Agency defines excipients as the constituents of a pharmaceutical form apart from the active substance. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHRs) caused by excipients contained in the formulation of medications have been described. However, there are no data on the prevalence of IHRs due to drug excipients. Clinical manifestations of allergy to excipients can range from skin disorders to life-threatening systemic reactions. The aim of this study was to review the literature on allergy to pharmaceutical excipients and to record the IHRs described with various types of medications, specifically reactions due to the excipients contained in their formulations. The cases reported were sorted alphabetically by type of medication and excipient in order to obtain a list of the excipients most frequently involved for each type of medication. Key words: Allergy. Drug immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Excipient. Pharmaceutical excipients. Resumen La Agencia Europea de Medicamentos define los excipientes como los componentes de una forma farmacéutica diferenciados del principio activo. Se han descrito reacciones de hipersensibilidad inmediata causadas por los excipientes contenidos en la formulación de medicamentos. Sin embargo, no hay datos sobre la prevalencia de dichas reacciones. Las manifestaciones clínicas de la alergia a los excipientes pueden ir desde trastornos de la piel hasta reacciones sistémicas que ponen en peligro la vida. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre la alergia a los excipientes farmacéuticos y recopilar las reacciones inmediatas descritas con diferentes tipos de medicamento, debido solo a excipientes contenidos en sus formulaciones.

A topical composition for skin treatment contains an anti- inflammatory glucocorticoid in combination with an essential fatty acid (EFA) of the n-6 or n-3 series or equivalent poly- unsaturated fatty acid, as such or in the form of a physio- logically acceptable derivative convertible in the body thereto. FIELD OF INVENTION The invention relates to compositions of y-linolenic acid and related materials with anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids and to the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders with them. BACKGROUND AND EXPLANATION OF INVENTION Much interest has been shown in recent years in essential fatty acid metabolism, especially in its relation to prosta- glandin (PG) metabolism and in particular to the balance of 1-series and 2-series PGs in the body. The main dietary essential fatty acid (EFA) utilised in the fully healthy human body is linoleic acid, but the Δ6- desaturase that converts it to the next acid in the n-6 series, namely y-linoleic acid (GLA) is at a low level of activity in many conditions.

  • Structures and Mechanism for the Design of Highly Potent Glucocorticoids
    Cell Research (2014) 24:713-726. © 2014 IBCB, SIBS, CAS All rights reserved 1001-0602/14 $ 32.00 npg ORIGINAL ARTICLE www.nature.com/cr Structures and mechanism for the design of highly potent glucocorticoids Yuanzheng He1, Wei Yi2, Kelly Suino-Powell1, X Edward Zhou1, W David Tolbert1, Xiaobo Tang2, Jing Yang3, Huaiyu Yang3, Jingjing Shi2, Li Hou2, Hualiang Jiang3, Karsten Melcher1, H Eric Xu1, 2 1Laboratory of Structural Sciences, Van Andel Research Institute, Grand Rapids, MI 49503, USA; 2VARI-SIMM Center, Center for Structure and Function of Drug Targets, Key Laboratory of Receptor Research, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201203, China; 3Center for Drug Discovery and Design, State Key Laboratory of Drug Research, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201203, China The evolution of glucocorticoid drugs was driven by the demand of lowering the unwanted side effects, while keep- ing the beneficial anti-inflammatory effects. Potency is an important aspect of this evolution as many undesirable side effects are associated with use of high-dose glucocorticoids. The side effects can be minimized by highly potent gluco- corticoids that achieve the same treatment effects at lower doses. This demand propelled the continuous development of synthetic glucocorticoids with increased potencies, but the structural basis of their potencies is poorly understood. To determine the mechanisms underlying potency, we solved the X-ray structures of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) ligand-binding domain (LBD) bound to its endogenous ligand, cortisol, which has relatively low potency, and a highly potent synthetic glucocorticoid, mometasone furoate (MF). The cortisol-bound GR LBD revealed that the flexibility of the C1-C2 single bond in the steroid A ring is primarily responsible for the low affinity of cortisol to GR.
