ProtocolIn VitroTazarotene (AGN 190168), in both gel and cream formulations, has been used both as monotherapy and as an adjuvant therapy. For psoriasis it has been combined with steroids, calcipotriene and phototherapy, and for acne, with antibiotics. Tazarotene (AGN 190168) has been shown to upregulate the tumor suppressor, Tazarotene (AGN 190168) induced gene 3, which is overexpressed in psoriasis and skin cancer.
In VivoTopical gel application provides direct delivery of Tazarotene (AGN 190168) into the skin. At 10 hours after a topical application of 0.1% Tazarotene (AGN 190168) gel to the skin of healthy individuals and patients with psoriasis, approximately 4 to 6% of the dose resides in the stratum corneum and 2% of the dose distributed to the viable epidermis and dermis. Tazarotene (AGN 190168) is designed to undergo rapid and complete metabolism to its active metabolite tazarotenic acid. Tazarotenic acid has a short systemic residence time and limited tissue distribution in animals.
