AI Article Synopsis

  • * The review discusses various conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis, highlighting the diverse applications of tetracyclines in dermatology.
  • * It also examines sarecycline, a new narrow-spectrum tetracycline, emphasizing its clinical effectiveness and potential effects on the microbiome, advocating for a broader use of tetracyclines in treating skin disorders.

Article Abstract

Background: Tetracyclines are a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics favored by dermatologists. Over the last decade, the clinical efficacy of tetracyclines has expanded into various dermatoses.

Summary: This review tries to encompass the possible indications of tetracycline in the field of dermatology and possible mechanisms of action. This comprehensive review encompasses all possible indications of tetracyclines besides acne vulgaris and rosacea: hidradenitis suppurativa, autoimmune bullous dermatoses, vitiligo, alopecia, prurigo pigmentosa, granulomatous dermatoses, Kaposi's sarcoma, cold urticaria, atopic dermatitis, scrub typhus, scarring, and miscellaneous dermatoses. We also focus on the recently approved sarecycline, a third-generation narrow-spectrum tetracycline, and its clinical efficacy and potential impact on the microbiome. Our review provides a better understanding of this extremely familiar drug class and encourages its use in a wider spectrum of dermatologic diseases and symptoms.

Key Messages: This study comprehensively reviewed the current literature on potential indications of tetracyclines in the field of dermatology.

Xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) is a versatile protein crucial for sensing DNA damage in the global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) pathway. This pathway is vital for mammalian cells, acting as their essential approach for repairing DNA lesions stemming from interactions with environmental factors, such as exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Loss-of-function mutations in the XPC gene confer a photosensitive phenotype in XP-C patients, resulting in the accumulation of unrepaired UV-induced DNA damage.

Luliconazole (LCZ) is a topical imidazole antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity. However, LCZ encounters challenges such as low aqueous solubility, skin retention, and penetration, which reduce its dermal bioavailability and hinder its efficacy in drug delivery. The aim of the present study was to formulate, characterize, and evaluate the in vitro antifungal efficacy of luliconazole-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (LCZ-NLCs) against a panel of resistant fungal strains.

With the development of 3D bioprinting and the creation of innovative biocompatible materials, several new approaches have brought advantages to patients and surgical teams. Increasingly more bone defects are now treated using 3D-bioprinted prostheses and implementing new solutions relies on the ability of engineers and medical teams to identify methods of anchoring 3D-printed prostheses and to reveal the potential influence of bioactive materials on surrounding tissues. In this paper, we described why limb salvage surgery based on 3D bioprinting is a reliable and effective alternative to amputations, and why this approach is considered the new standard in modern medicine.
