  • Pruritus: Scratching the Surface
    Pruritus: Scratching the surface Iris Ale, MD Director Allergy Unit, University Hospital Professor of Dermatology Republic University, Uruguay Member of the ICDRG ITCH • defined as an “unpleasant sensation of the skin leading to the desire to scratch” -- Samuel Hafenreffer (1660) • The definition offered by the German physician Samuel Hafenreffer in 1660 has yet to be improved upon. • However, it turns out that itch is, indeed, inseparable from the desire to scratch. Savin JA. How should we define itching? J Am Acad Dermatol. 1998;39(2 Pt 1):268-9. Pruritus • “Scratching is one of nature’s sweetest gratifications, and the one nearest to hand….” -- Michel de Montaigne (1553) “…..But repentance follows too annoyingly close at its heels.” The Essays of Montaigne Itch has been ranked, by scientific and artistic observers alike, among the most distressing physical sensations one can experience: In Dante’s Inferno, falsifiers were punished by “the burning rage / of fierce itching that nothing could relieve” Pruritus and body defence • Pruritus fulfils an essential part of the innate defence mechanism of the body. • Next to pain, itch may serve as an alarm system to remove possibly damaging or harming substances from the skin. • Itch, and the accompanying scratch reflex, evolved in order to protect us from such dangers as malaria, yellow fever, and dengue, transmitted by mosquitoes, typhus-bearing lice, plague-bearing fleas • However, chronic itch lost this function. Chronic Pruritus • Chronic pruritus is a common and distressing symptom, that is associated with a variety of skin conditions and systemic diseases • It usually has a dramatic impact on the quality of life of the affected individuals Chronic Pruritus • Despite being the major symptom associated with skin disease, our understanding of the pathogenesis of most types of itch is limited, and current therapies are often inadequate.

For this reason, the therapeutic approach to AD is complex and should be directed at restoring skin barrier function, reducing dehydration, maintaining acidic pH, and avoiding superinfection and exposure to possible allergens. There is no curative treatment for AD. However, a series of measures are recommended to alleviate the disease and enable patients to improve their quality of life. These include adequate skin hydration and restoration of the skin barrier with the use of emollients, antibacterial measures, specific approaches to reduce pruritus and scratching, wet wrap applications, avoidance of typical AD triggers, and topical anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory treatment is generally recommended during acute flares or, more recently, for preventive management.

    Updated June 07, 2021 Bulk Drug Substances Nominated for Use in Compounding Under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Three categories of bulk drug substances: • Category 1: Bulk Drug Substances Under Evaluation • Category 2: Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks • Category 3: Bulk Drug Substances Nominated Without Adequate Support Updates to Categories of Substances Nominated for the 503B Bulk Drug Substances List1 • Add the following entry to category 2 due to serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, and possible carcinogenicity when quinacrine hydrochloride is used for intrauterine administration for non- surgical female sterilization: 2,3 o Quinacrine Hydrochloride for intrauterine administration • Revision to category 1 for clarity: o Modify the entry for “Quinacrine Hydrochloride” to “Quinacrine Hydrochloride (except for intrauterine administration).” • Revision to category 1 to correct a substance name error: o Correct the error in the substance name “DHEA (dehydroepiandosterone)” to “DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).” 1 For the purposes of the substance names in the categories, hydrated forms of the substance are included in the scope of the substance name. 2 Quinacrine HCl was previously reviewed in 2016 as part of FDA’s consideration of this bulk drug substance for inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. As part of this review, the Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products (DBRUP), now the Division of Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology (DUOG), evaluated the nomination of quinacrine for intrauterine administration for non-surgical female sterilization and recommended that quinacrine should not be included on the 503A Bulks List for this use. This recommendation was based on the lack of information on efficacy comparable to other available methods of female sterilization and serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and possible carcinogenicity in use of quinacrine for this indication and route of administration.
