Description:

1,Isotretinoin is the acid form of vitamin A and is also known as all-trans retinoic acid or ATRA. It is a drug commonly used to treat acne vulgaris and keratosis pilaris. It is available as a cream or gel It is also used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia, and is sold for this indication by Roche under the brand name Vesanoid. It is also available as a generic.

2 Its success in treating acute promyelocytic leukemia was a major breakthrough in the treatment of this type of leukemia.It works in APL because the majority of cases involve a chromosomal translocation of chromosomes 15 and 17, which causes genetic fusion of the retinoic acid receptor gene to the promyelocytic leukemia gene. This fusion PML-RAR protein is responsible for preventing immature myeloid cells from differentiating into more mature cells. This block in differentiation is thought to cause leukemia. ATRA acts on PML-RAR to lift this block, causing the immature promyelocytes to differentiate to normal mature blood cells thus decreasing promyelocytes.

Application:

Isotretinoin is used to treat severe cystic acne (also known as nodular acne) that has not responded to other treatment (e.g., benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin applied to the skin or tetracycline or minocycline taken by mouth).

Isotretinoin is primarily used as a treatment for severe acne. The most common adverse effects are a transient worsening of acne (lasting 2-3 weeks), dry lips (cheilitis), dry and fragile skin, and an increased susceptibility to sunburn.

As the retinoid, there are strong and fast proliferation inhibition and differentiation of skin gland cell function, effective on severe nodular cystic acne. The gastrointestinal absorption is better, while the local medication invalid. Other drugs used to treat invalid serious acne, cystic acne, acne conglobata, rosacea, ichthyosis, keratosis follicularis and pityriasis rubra pilaris and other skin diseases also have a certain effect.
