Glucocorticoids for Human Skin: New Aspects of the Mechanism of Action

Abstract: Topical glucocorticoids have always been considered first-line drugs for inflammatory diseases of the skin and bronchial system. Applied systemically, glucocorticoids are used for severe inflammatory and immunological diseases and the inhibition of transplant rejection. Owing to the progress in molecular pharmacology, the knowledge of the mechanism of action has increased during the last years. Besides distinct genomic targets, which are due to the activation of specific cytoplasmatic receptors resulting in th… Show more

“…Improved targeting and delivery to this compartment are therefore of utmost importance from a clinical perspective. Moreover, the topical treatment is the first and most attractive choice to manage these types of diseases because systemic side effects are reduced when compared to oral or parenteral administration [10]. Nonetheless, some major drawbacks of topically applied glucocorticoids are the high occurrence of local adverse effects due to high dermal absorption.…”

“…Due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative features, topical steroids have been the first-line treatment regimen for chronic inflammatory skin disorders over the past five decades [1,2,3,4]. However, the side effect potential of these agents limits their use.…”

“…Противовоспалительное действие ГК обусловлено главным образом снижением интенсивности выработки основных факторов воспале-ния, например цитокинов, путем ингибирования транс-крипционной активности их генов. При этом ГК тормо-зят иммунные процессы, задерживают пролиферацию фибробластов, клеток эпидермиса и синтез коллагена, что приводит к атрофии кожи [11][12][13][14].…”

“…Очевидно, что эти фармако-логические эффекты неотделимы друг от друга. Стероиды, обладающие наиболее сильным противовоспалительным эффектом, являются также наиболее сильными ингибито-рами синтеза коллагена, поэтому наружное использова-ние ГК может вызывать известный ряд местных побочных эффектов -истончение, атрофию кожи, стрии, образо-вание телеангиоэктазий [12][13][14]. В связи с этим вопро-сы безопасности применения ГК-препаратов должны всегда стоять на первом месте, особенно если больным требуется продолжительное лечение, применение препа-ратов на чувствительных участках кожи и др.…”
