Indication:For the topical treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.
Pharmacology:Azelaic acid is a saturated dicarboxylic acid found naturally in wheat, rye, and
barley. It is a natural substance that is produced by Malassezia furfur (also
known as Pityrosporum ovale), a yeast that lives on normal skin. It is
effective against a number of skin conditions, such as mild to moderate acne, when
applied topically in a cream formulation of 20%. It works in part by stopping the
growth of skin bacteria that cause acne, and by keeping skin pores clear. Azelaic
acid-s antimicrobial action may be attributable to inhibition of microbial cellular
protein synthesis.
Mechanism_of_action:The exact mechanism of action of azelaic acid is not known. It is thought that
azelaic acid manifests its antibacterial effects by inhibiting the synthesis of
cellular protein in anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, especially Staphylococcus
epidermidis
and Propionibacterium acnes. In aerobic bacteria, azelaic
acid reversibly inhibits several oxidoreductive enzymes including tyrosinase,
mitochondrial enzymes of the respiratory chain, thioredoxin reductase,
5-alpha-reductase, and DNA polymerases. In anaerobic bacteria, azelaic acid impedes
glycolysis. Along with these actions, azelaic acid also improves acne vulgaris by
normalizing the keratin process and decreasing microcomedo formation. Azelaic acid
may be effective against both inflamed and noninflamed lesions. Specifically,
azelaic acid reduces the thickness of the stratum corneum, shrinks keratohyalin
granules by reducing the amount and distribution of filaggrin (a component of
keratohyalin) in epidermal layers, and lowers the number of keratohyalin granules.
