lect 18 drugs cosmetics Flashcards
first cosmeceutical to treat male baldness
minoxidil
drug in toothpaste to prevent tooth decay
fluoride
sebaceous gland located where
located beside hair follicles , secretes sebum that lubricates surface of skin
main difference with regards to skin to individuals
chemical structure of melanin
produce melanin and insert it in keratinocytes
melanocytes
what happens in sunburn with melanocytes
melanocytes increase production and insertion of melanin
sunburn is the reaction to what
UV injury
what cells have a fast turnover and continuously repair itself and replace deficits
skin cells
skin structure is adapted to what
to the location. for example, skin behind ears is thin and can absorb compounds like putting patches to prevent motion sickness
patches of abnormal skin condition
psoriasis
psoriasis is a thickened layer of what
of keratinocytes with plaque
drugs to treat acne and psoriasis (4)
topical such as corticosteroids and vitamin D3.
systematic like retinoids
phototherapy like UV light
biological like monoclonal antibodies (last set of choice)
what is caused by an allergic reaction to certain drugs. easy suffering of sunburns at low exposures
photosensitivity
what drugs can cause photosensitivity (5)
antibiotics, diuretics, antipsychotics, NSAIDS, herbal mixtures
tanning is a reaction to what
reaction to injury cause by UV light (its carcinogenic) more melanin from melanocytes into keratinocytes
UV light is made of what
UVA and UVB in 290-400nm range
which UV light penetrates deeper
UVA
UVB penetration
cannot penetrate as deep as UVA but exposure is greater
eye damage from UV
UV can damage eyes and cause cataracts
tanning increases risk of what deadliest skin cancer
melanoma risk increased by 59% with tanning beds
photaging
back of neck is vulnerable to UV exposure. damage causes skin to turn red and very wrinkled
skin cancer that can be removed before the carcinoma becomes larger
basal cell carcinoma
skin cancer that leads to death
melanoma
protects skin from UV light damages
sunscreen
measure of efficacy from suncreen
SPF
what is broad spectrum
spf 15-30 suncreen that blocks both UVA and UVB
when do we experience greater uv exposure
during swimming and skiing because snow and water reflect up to 85% of UV radiation
retinoids are used for what
acne treatment
what problems occur in acne (4)
- occlusion of the pilosebaceous duct where hair follicles normally come out
- bacterial colonisation in the duct, releasing inflammatory mediators
- increased sebum secretion
- inflamed sebaceous gland . in severe cases the comedo may rupture and release contents into the dermis
what is sebum
lubricant that lubricates the hair shaft and hair to keep it shiny and lubricate skin and scalp.
stages of acne (abnormal keratynocytes)
normal hair follicles, oxidized sebum, trapped sebum, bacteria+leukocytes
what happens at oxidized sebum stage
duct blocked, sebum accumulates at surface of open pore and oxidizes to form balck heads. bacteria in there
trapped sebum stage of acne
sebum trapped below surface of skin and forms whiteheads, contains bacteria and leukocytes. closed comedo
bacteria and leukocytes stage
bacteria accumulates in sebum, attracts white blood cells. mixture of bacteria, leukocytes and sebum
severe cases of comedo (last stage of acne)
comedo ruptures and spread to become larger. forms inflamed red circle around original site. bump on surface
what is hyperkeratosis
acummulation of keratin and sebum. bacteria proliferates, inflammation, rupture
cystic acne characteristics
usually treated before gets extremed
acne treated with trial and error because no animals get acne
androgens especially testosterone cause sebum increase during puberty so males more vulnerable
4 hallmarks of acne
increased sebum, increased keratin, increased bacteria and inflammation
four targets to reduce acne
- normalize follicular keratinization
- reduce bacteria, antibiotics topically or systematically
- inhibit sebaceous gland
- decreased inflammation
comedogenesis
too much keratin
- normalize follicular keratinization
stops plugging of follicles
topical retinoids, accutane (systematic retinoid)
- reduce bacteria, antibiotics topically or systematically
benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics
retinoids ex. isotretinoin
- inhibit sebaceous gland (5)
accutane, hormonal therapy, OCs
retinoids
contraceptives
- decreased inflammation (4)
corticosteroids, NSAIDS, antibiotics, retinoids
drugs that normalize comedogenesis
regulate keratinocyte turnover.
tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, isotretinoin, sulfur, azelaic acid
drugs with antibacterial effects (3)
antibiotics, isotretinoin, benzoyl peroxide
drugs that inhibit sebaceous gland functions (4)
antiandrogens (spironolactone)
corticosteroids (oral, in low doses)
estrogen (low dose)
isotretinoin (indirect effect)
drugs with anti inflammatory effects (4)
NSAIDS
antibiotics
corticosteroids
retinoids
vitamin A derivatives
retinoids
retinoids act how
act as hormones and alter gene expression
retinoids have major role in what
cellular differentiation
cells in fetus and cells continuously turning over in adults are particularly affected
natural retinoids
retinol, retinaldehyde, all trans retinoic acid
synthetic retinoids
aromatic compounds
1st generation retinoids
retinol, retinoic acid
tretinoin also called retino-A
