Description
(extracted from source data)
ABSORPTION Adapalene displays a limited absorption potential across the human skin. Only trace amounts (<0.25 ng/mL) of parent substance have been found in the plasma of acne patients following chronic topical application of adapalene in controlled clinical trials
DESCRIPTION Adapalene is a third-generation topical anti-acne retinoid. (GtoPdb)
DESCRIPTION Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (Tocris Bioactive Compound Library)
DESCRIPTION RARbeta and RARgamma agonist (Tocriscreen Plus)
DESCRIPTION Adapalene sodium salt, a synthetic retinoid, is a Retinoic acid receptor agonist (RAR). It is a third-generation topical retinoid primarily used in the treatment of mild-moderate acne and is also used (off-label) to treat keratosis pilaris as well as other skin conditions. It is possibly more effective than tretinoin 0.025% gel in the treatment of acne vulgaris. (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
