Mechanism of ActionAtopic dermatitis stems from skin barrier abnormalities and immune dysregulation1-4Overactive PDE4 and atopic dermatitis
  • Atopic dermatitis is associated with excessive cytokines, which have been shown to contribute to the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis1,3
  • Some of these cytokines are regulated at the intracellular level by overactive PDE4 enzymes in immune cells1,2
  • Overactive PDE4 degrades cAMP to AMP, resulting in overproduction of these inflammatory cytokines1,4
  • Overactive PDE4 may be one of the many potential factors involved in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis

The specific mechanism(s) of action of crisaborole in atopic dermatitis is not well defined.

EUCRISA inhibits PDE4
  • Crisaborole penetrates into the skin1,5
  • Crisaborole inhibits PDE4 in inflammatory cells, resulting in increased intracellular cAMP levels1,5,6
  • Increased intracellular cAMP may result in reduced inflammatory cytokines, which is thought to reduce the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis3,5,7
The active ingredient in EUCRISA, crisaborole 2%, is combined with a proprietary Emollient-rich Vehicle ointment.5,9 Ointments contain emollients, which can help lock in moisture and soften the skin.10 Images for illustrative purposes only.AMP=adenosine monophosphate; cAMP=cyclic adenosine monophosphate; PDE4=phosphodiesterase 4.ReferencesJarnagin K, Chanda S, Coronado D, et al.
