  • JAK Inhibitors for Treatment of Psoriasis: Focus on Selective TYK2 Inhibitors
    Drugs https://doi.org/10.1007/s40265-020-01261-8 CURRENT OPINION JAK Inhibitors for Treatment of Psoriasis: Focus on Selective TYK2 Inhibitors Miguel Nogueira1 · Luis Puig2 · Tiago Torres1,3 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 Abstract Despite advances in the treatment of psoriasis, there is an unmet need for efective and safe oral treatments. The Janus Kinase– Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK–STAT) pathway plays a signifcant role in intracellular signalling of cytokines of numerous cellular processes, important in both normal and pathological states of immune-mediated infamma- tory diseases. Particularly in psoriasis, where the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis is currently considered the crucial pathogenic pathway, blocking the JAK–STAT pathway with small molecules would be expected to be clinically efective. However, relative non-specifcity and low therapeutic index of the available JAK inhibitors have delayed their integration into the therapeutic armamentarium of psoriasis. Current research appears to be focused on Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), the frst described member of the JAK family. Data from the Phase II trial of BMS-986165—a selective TYK2 inhibitor—in psoriasis have been published and clinical results are encouraging, with a large Phase III programme ongoing. Further, the selective TYK2 inhibitor PF-06826647 is being tested in moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a Phase II clinical trial. Brepocitinib, a potent TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor, is also being evaluated, as both oral and topical treatment. Results of studies with TYK2 inhibitors will be important in assessing the clinical efcacy and safety of these drugs and their place in the therapeutic armamentarium of psoriasis.

  • Stem Cell/Wnt
    Inhibitors, Agonists, Screening Libraries www.MedChemExpress.com Stem Cell/Wnt Stem cells are required for continuous tissue maintenance within diverse organs, stem cell activity is often externally dictated by the microenvironment (the niche) so that stem cell output is precisely shaped to meet homeostatic needs or regenerative demands. Several key signaling pathways have been shown to play essential roles in this regulatory capacity. Specifically, the JAK/STAT, Hedgehog, Wnt, Notch, Smad, PI3K/phosphatase and tensin homolog, and NK-κB signaling pathways have all been shown experimentally to mediate various stem cell properties, such as self-renewal, cell fate decisions, survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Recent studies mainly focus on cancer stem cell, induced pluripotent stem cell, neural stem cell and maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been believed to be responsible for tumor initiation, growth, and recurrence. Numerous agents have been developed to specifically target CSCs by suppressing the expression of pluripotency maintaining factors Nanog, Oct-4, Sox-2, and c-Myc and transcription of GLI. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into various types of cells, and a self-renewing resource, and scientists can experiment with an unlimited number of pluripotent cells to perfect the process of targeted differentiation, transplantation, and more, for personalized medicine. Novel pathological mechanisms have been elucidated, new drugs originating from iPSC screens are in the pipeline and the first clinical trial using human iPSC-derived products has been initiated.

Abstract Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease; it's one of the most common skin disorders and affects mainly adolescents and young adults. Keratolytic agents are widely used in treatment of acne from several years. In this study we aimed to evaluate and compare the cutaneous response of different keratolytic agents in management of acne vulgaris. Ninety patients were selected among those attending the outpatient dermatology clinic in AD- Dwadmi hospital during the period from October 2015 to February 2016. The selected patients had different forms of acne vulgaris, papulo-pustular, comedonal and post acne scar. Three types of keratolytic agents were used, glycolic acid 50%, salicylic acid 20% and jessner solution. In papulopustular lesions, the three agents were effective with non-significant difference between them; however, there was more excellent results with jessner solution (70 % of patients) then glycolic acid (50%) and lastly salicylic acid (40%).
