Tapinarof is a small molecule stilbene compound, with a chemical name of 3,5-Dihydroxy-4-isopropylstilbene,which was originally isolated from the metabolite of photorhabdus iuminescence, a soil nematode (Heterorhabditis sp.), and has been synthesized artificially.
Clinically, tapinarof was first used in the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Clinical trials conducted abroad have shown that Benzenemod cream has good efficacy and safety on atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Tapinarof is a novel small molecule topical therapeutic AhR ( aryl hydrocarbon receptor)-modulating agent that has been recently approved by the FDA for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. Tapinarof 1% cream has shown to be effective and to have a favorable safety profile in the treatment of psoriatic patients. It could decrease the expression of multiple essential cytokines involved in the pathological IL-23/IL-17/IL-22 axis and ameliorate IMQ-induced psoriatic dermatitis, inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation and abnormal differentiation.
