Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created using several sources including:| https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27335049 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27525671 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27417017 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=27050693

Crisaborole is a topically administered, boron-containing, anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits the phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) activity and thereby suppresses the cytokine release of TNFalpha, IL-12, IL-23 and other cytokines. PDE4 is an an enzyme that converts the intracellular second messenger 3'5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) into the active metabolite adenosine monophosphate (AMP). By inhibiting PDE4 and thus increasing levels of cAMP, crisaborole controls inflammation. The use of boron chemistry enabled synthesis of a low-molecular-weight compound (251 daltons), thereby facilitating effective penetration of crisaborole through human skin. Crisaborole is in clinical development for the topical treatment of psoriasis and being pursued for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis. Preliminary studies in children and adults demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety profiles. Crisaborole may represent an anti-inflammatory option that safely minimizes the symptoms and severity of AD and that can be used for both acute and long-term management.

Comment: The most sensitive enzyme, CYP2C9, was further investigated for drug interaction potential in a clinical trial (AN2728-PK-101) using 25 mg oral dose of warfarin as a CYP2C9 substrate. The results of this clinical trial showed there was no drug interaction potential.

Comment: To address the potential for crisaborole to inhibit CYP2C19 following clinical application of Crisaborole Ointment, 2%, the exposure of crisaborole, as determined in the maximal use PK trial (AN2728-AD-102) conducted in pediatric subjects with AD, was considered for the calculation of I/Ki. In this study, after topical administration of Crisaborole Ointment, 2% at a dose of 3 mg/cm2 applied to treatable BSA (mean %BSA = 48.7%), the mean ±SD plasma Cmax on Day 8 was 0.506 ± 0.781 μM (127± 196 ng/mL). Hence the ratios of [I]/ Ki for competitive inhibition (0.506/8.96 or 0.056) and metabolismbased inhibition (0.506/22.3 or 0.023) would be <0.1 and the corresponding R values would be < 1.1 which indicates that the probability of crisaborole to inhibit CYP2C19 under conditions of clinical use is low.

Sample Use Guides

2% AN2728 applied twice daily for up to 28 days in children, adolescents, and adults (ages 2 years and older) with atopic dermatitis

In vitro experiments showed that crisaborole inhibits cytokine production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a pattern similar to other PDE4 inhibitors and distinct from corticosteroids.
