Crisaborole (trade name Eucrisa) is a nonsteroidal topical medication approved in the United States for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients two years of age and older.[1][2] It was approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Dec 14, 2016.[3]

Mechanism of action

It is a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, mainly acting on phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B), which causes inflammation.[4] Chemically, crisaborole is a phenoxybenzoxaborole.[4] It contains a boron atom that helps penetrate the skin and is essential for its binding activity.[5] Inhibition of PDE4B appears to suppress the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-23 and other cytokines, proteins believed to be involved in the immune response and inflammation.[4]

Chemistry

The chemical name for crisaborole is 4-[(1-hydroxy-1,3-dihydro-2,1-benzoxaborol-5-yl)oxy]benzonitrile.[6]

Drug development

Crisaborole was developed by Anacor Pharmaceuticals for the topical treatment of psoriasis.[7][8][4][9] During preclinical and clinical development, crisaborole was called AN2728 and PF-06930164.[10]
