CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Adapalene acts on retinoid receptors. Biochemical and pharmacological
profile studies
have demonstrated that adapalene is a modulator of cellular
differentiation,
keratinization, and inflammatory processes all of which represent
important features in
the pathology of acne vulgaris.
Mechanistically, adapalene binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear
receptors but does not
bind to the cytosolic receptor protein. Although the exact mode of
action of adapalene is
unknown, it is suggested that topical adapalene normalizes the
differentiation of follicular
epithelial cells resulting in decreased microcomedone formation.
PHARMACOKINETICS:

low. In a
