Chronic antiinflammatory treatment is required in autoimmunologic dermatoses. Tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) an inhibitor of calcineurin, is the first topical nonsteroidal immunosuppressant for the last 50 years. Pimecrolimus (ASM 981), a newer calcineurin inhibitor developed for atopic dermatitis treatment has the same mode of action and altered skin penetration profile as takrolimus. Their structure, mechanism of immunosuppressive action, efficacy and safety in atopic dermatitis and other inflammatory dermatitides was described in this article. The attention was paid to systemic and in topical treatment, their intact and injured skin penetration profile, optimal doses, costs and perspectives of broad use of these drugs in dermatology were described.

Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and atopic dermatitis (AD) are pervasive inflammatory skin diseases with similar symptoms, and the global prevalence of both conditions is steadily rising. Many compounds and biotics have been developed to target molecules critical to the etiology or pathogenesis of CHS and AD. However, such molecules are sometimes ineffective or lose potency over the therapeutic course.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterized by eczematous skin lesions and pruritus. There is an unmet need for effective first-line systemic therapies with good safety profiles, particularly oral medications. Orismilast is a novel first-in-class oral phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) B/D inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD.

Background: Atopic dermatitis is perhaps the most comprehensively studied skin disease in psychosomatic medicine and psychoneuroimmunology. Its biopsychosocial conceptualization incorporates psychodynamic as well as behavioral and systemic considerations. At the same time, there is also extensive biological knowledge of the neuroendocrine-immune control of barrier and immune function, characterized through animal experiments and translational clinical studies.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recurrent and chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by a high lifetime prevalence and significant impairment of patients' quality of life, primarily due to intense itching and discomfort. However, current pharmacological interventions provide only moderate efficacy and are frequently accompanied by adverse side effects. The immune-pathogenesis of AD involves dysregulation of the Th2 immune response and exacerbation of inflammation related to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS).
