TNF-α in a molecularly targeted therapy of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis

Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic immunological skin disease and patients with this disorder typically experience a significant decrease in their quality of life. The disease is traditionally managed with topical and systemic agents (retinoids, ciclosporin A, methotrexate), but these treatment options are often long-term and their effects can be inconsistent and not ideal. The use of biological drugs in dermatological treatment is relatively new and began in the early 2000s. It should be noted that, in most countries, in… Show more

“…Currently, treatment perspectives include the blocking of the TNF, IL‐23 and IL‐17/17R pathway (chronic psoriasis), the use of cyclosporine, UV light, steroids, vitamin D or blocking of interferon/plasmacytoid dendritic cell pathway (acute psoriasis) or the use of cyclosporine, infliximab, retinoids, methotrexate or blocking of the IL‐1 and IL‐36 pathway (pustular psoriasis) …”
