CHAPTER 2 Dermatopharmacology
UVA modalities
Psoralen plus UVA (PUVA)
Photochemical reaction between psoralen
(8-methoxypsoralen usually) and UVA
■
Psoralen (0.4–0.6 mg/kg 1–2 hours beore UVA) can be
administered orally or topically
O note, beore UV exposure, psoralen intercalates
into DNA
Photoactivated psoralen molecules orm 3,4 or 4’,5’
cyclobutane monounctional adducts to pyrimidines
in DNA → inter-strand DNA cross-link → ↓ DNA
synthesis/cell cycle arrest
PUVA → selective immunosuppression, selective
cytotoxicity (via production o ROS and ree
radicals), and melanocyte stimulation
Psoralens ideally taken under asting conditions,
because ood slows absorption
Absorption and bioavailability vary widely with
8-methoxypsoralen
Metabolized by liver
Used in many inammatory dermatoses including
atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, CTCL,
photodermatoses (using desensitization protocols),
GVHD, and lichen planus
AEs include: nausea/vomiting (ood may help),
phototoxic reactions (e.g., symptomatic erythema
and pruritus), hepatic toxicity, bronchoconstriction,
HSV recurrences, cardiovascular stress, CNS
disturbances, photoaging, melanoma, and NMSC
(SCC .. BCC; usually i $ 250 treatments), and
ocular issues (e.g., cataracts)
UV-opaque goggles and ace/genital protection in
unit; UV-opaque glasses ater exposure until sunset,
along with photoprotection
Contraindications: lactation and photosensitizing skin
disorders (LE, albinism, porphyria, XP); autoimmune
blistering disease has been induced by PUVA)
■
Treatments administered two to three times per week
initially till mostly clear, then a maintenance schedule
where radiation dose is kept the same and visit
requency slowly decreased (even to one treatment a
month), then stopped
■
Sae in combination with other treatments (e.g.,
topicals, MTX, acitretin, and UVB)
UVA-1 (340–400 nm)
Treatments can be low, medium, or high dose
Dose based on MED as sensitivity to UVA-1 can vary
greatly between people
Not many centers in the United States have UVA-1 units
and not necessarily superior to PUVA and/or NB-UVB
Various skin disorders including SLE (low dose),
scleroderma/other sclerodermoid skin conditions (need at
least 30 treatments), atopic dermatitis, and MF
AEs include erythema in the short-term; no long-term
studies or AEs
UVB modalities
MoA: ↓ DNA synthesis (i.e., in psoriatic epidermis)
and ↑ p53 → cell cycle arrest/keratinocyte apoptosis;
↓ proinammatory cytokines, ↓ Langerhans cells in
skin
Narrowband UVB (311–313 nm)
■
Treatments given three times a week initially (based on
skin type or 70% MED) and increased by 10%–15%
each treatment; may have to adjust the dose based on
erythema severity
■
UV-opaque goggles during treatment and covering ace/
genitals
■
AEs: skin reactions (e.g., erythema or pruritus),
mucosal reactions (recurrent herpes labialis, or
blepharitis), exacerbation o SLE and blistering
disorders. No signifcant risk o skin malignancy
■
Used in psoriasis (most commonly prescribed
phototherapy), vitiligo, MF (patch and plaque), atopic
dermatitis, photodermatoses (using desensitization
protocols), and pruritus (idiopathic and secondary)
■
Similar contraindications to PUVA
Broadband UVB—280–320 nm; more convenient in
darker-skinned individuals than NB-UVB (shorter
treatment times), but largely has been replaced by
NB-UVB
Excimer laser—308 nm; high-intensity treatment with
higher efcacy than standard NB-UVB or treating smaller
surace areas (,2 cm2; e.g., in psoriasis and vitiligo)
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy
Pheresis via venous catheter in arm vein → blood cells
separated into leukocyte-rich buy coat and RBCs
(returned back to patient) → 8-methoxypsoralen added to
leukocytes → UVA radiation → reinusion (net gain o
500 mL o uid, but initially 200 to 400 mL are pheresed)
■
Usually 2-day cycle every 4 weeks and slow weaning
ater desired response
Various eects on immune system, including T cells (e.g.,
apoptosis o activated T cells, induction o regulatory T
cells/immunologic tolerance), cytokines (e.g., avors
immunoregulatory cytokines), and dendritic cells (↓#)
Eective in CTCL (selectively targets lymphoma cells; can
be used in combination with other treatments) and other
dermatoses (e.g., scleroderma, chronic GVHD,
nephrogenic systemic fbrosis, and pemphigus)
Contraindicated in severe cardiac disease (because o
difculty in handling added uid volume); caution in
patients with low BP, hematocrit, and CHF
AEs: nausea, photosensitivity, hypotension, CHF, and
tachycardia
Photodynamic therapy (PDT)
Activation o topical photosensitizer by light
■
Aminolevulinic acid (ALA): activated by blue light
(Blu-U device); no need or occlusion
■
Methyl aminolevulinate (MAL): activated by red light
(Aktilite) and is more lipophilic; occlusion
recommended
■
These photosensitizers are ultimately converted to
protoporphyrin IX within cells → activated to a higher
energy state (along with production o ROS, including
singlet O2) primarily with light ≈ 410-417 nm (Soret
band, blue), but also has other peaks (e.g., 635 nm,
66

2.8 Miscellaneous Agents
red) → localize by mitochondria → necrosis/apoptosis
o malignant cells
Neoplastic cells accumulate more porphyrins than
normal cells—thus PDT eective in actinic
keratoses and NMSCs
O note, protoporphyrin IX is also elevated in the
inherited condition, protoporphyria
In acne, targets sebaceous glands and C. acnes,
which accumulates porphyrins (light alone is
eective in acne 1/– photosensitizer)
■
Only FDA-approved indication is actinic keratosis
(≈90% response on individual lesions), but also
used in BCC, SCCIS, acne, photoaging, hidradenitis,
and MF
■
Technique: (1) skin cleansed (acetone or ALA and
gentle curette debridement o scale/crust or MAL);
(2) photosensitizer applied; (3) incubation time (3–
exposure (37 J/cm2 or MAL: 7–9 minutes, 10 J/cm2 or
ALA: 16 minutes); and (5) retreat in 7 days or MAL
and 1 to 2 months or ALA i needed
■
Protective eyewear during procedure and avoid sunlight
or 48 hours
■
AEs: phototoxic reactions/photosensitivity, hypo-/
hyperpigmentation, hypersensitivity to photosensitizer,
pain, systemic absorption, and inammation (edema,
blistering, and crusting)
2.8 MISCELLANEOUS AGENTS
Sunscreens
Sun protection actor (SPF) 5 MED o protected skin
divided by MED o unprotected skin
■
UVB is 10003 more eective at causing erythema than
UVA
■
SPF o 15 blocks 93% o erythematous radiation, while
SPF 30 blocks 97%
■
2 g/cm2 o sunscreen applied in phototesting, but reallie application thickness is lower which reduces
eective SPF
Broad spectrum 5 UVA 1 UVB protection
■
UVA—tanning, photoaging
■
UVB—erythema and DNA damage via pyrimdine dimer
ormation
Water resistant 5 SPF value ater 40 or 80 minutes o water
immersion is the same as the value beore immersion
Chemical absorbers: aromatic compounds that absorb
radiation and convert it into longer, lower-energy
wavelengths
■
UVB: para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), padimate O,
octinoxate, cinoxate, octisalate, homosalate, trolamine
salicylate, octocrylene, ensulizole
PABA—most potent UVB agent; associated with
contact dermatitis, skin staining; has largely been
replaced by other agents
■
UVA: oxybenzone, sulisobenzone, dioxybenzone,
meradimate, avobenzone, ecamsule
Oxybenzone—contact dermatitis, photoallergy
Avobenzone—photolabile, combined with other
agents to prevent degradation
Physical blockers: chemically inert compounds that
reect/scatter radiation
■
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
■
More broad-spectrum coverage (UVA, UVB, and visible
light) → better or patients with photosensitivity
disorders
■
Do not cause contact dermatitis; micronized
ormulations decrease visible light scatter, absorb UV
light and oer improved cosmetic application
AEs: irritation, contact urticaria, irritant contact dermatitis,
allergic and photoallergic contact dermatitis (oxybenzone
is #1 culprit; cinnamates and PABA also common),
photosensitivity, and may ↓vitamin D synthesis
Concurrent administration o DEET (insect repellant) and
oxybenzone may increase absorption o both agents and
reduce SPF
Dihydroxyacetone (ound in sunless tanning products)
has only SPF 4 protection
Window glass absorbs UVB but NOT UVA
Insect repellants (Table 2.9)
Topical cosmetic agents
Bimatoprost
Prostaglandin analog that is approved or eyelash
hypotrichosis (↑ length, thickness, and pigment); AEs
include periorbital skin pigmentation, iris
hyperpigmentation (more common in glaucoma
treatment), and ocular irritation
Brimonidine and oxymetazoline
Topical alpha-adrenergic agonists or treatment o acial
redness in rosacea; ophthalmic oxymetazoline solution is
approved or acquired ptosis
AEs: contact dermatitis, rebound erythema (more so with
brimonidine)
Eornithine
Binds/inhibits ornithine decarboxylase; used in treatment
o emale acial hirsutism; acne is the most common AE
Hydroquinone
Lightens skin color via active reduction o pigment
production (i.e., auto-oxidation o melanin, tyrosinase,
and phenol oxidases into various reactive substances);
competes with tyrosine as substrate or tyrosinase;
production o ROS → melanocyte damage
■
Dermatitis is most common AE; most concerning AEs
are paradoxical hyperpigmentation or exogenous
ochronosis (usually at higher concentrations or longer
time periods); reversible nail discoloration can occur
■
Other bleaching agents: monobenzyl ether o
hydroquinone (potent; used or permanent
depigmentation o normal skin in severe vitiligo), kojic
acid, and mequinol

compounds (e.g., drugs)
Most commonly located in the endoplasmic reticulum o
hepatocytes
Divided into amilies and subamilies based on genetic
similarity
Deects in CYP genes can → altered drug metabolism (e.g.,
CYP2D6 mutations may → poor tolerance to doxepin)

Substrate drugs 5 drugs metabolized by a certain CYP
isoorm
■
I given with a drug that inhibits the CYP → ↓
clearance o substrate drug → ↑ levels o substrate drug
and possible toxicity
In this scenario, may need ↓ dose o substrate drug
■
I given with a drug that induces the CYP → ↑
clearance o substrate drug → ↓ levels o substrate drug
and ↓ therapeutic eect
In this scenario, may need ↑ dose o substrate drug
Specic CYP isoorms
CYP1A2
Substrates: theophylline/caeine, wararin, and pimozide
Inhibitors: uoroquinolones, macrolides (e.g.,
erythromycin), and ketoconazole
Inducers: phenytoin, barbiturates, riampin, and cigarette
smoke
CYP2C9
Substrates: phenytoin, sulonamides, wararin, uvastatin,
abrocitinib, and losartan
Inhibitors: uconazole and TMP-SMX
Inducers: carbamazepine and riampin
CYP2D6
Accounts or one-ourth o all drug metabolism
Substrates: TCAs (e.g., doxepin and amitriptyline),
metoprolol/propranolol, antidysrhythmics (e.g.,
encainide and propaenone), antipsychotics (e.g.,
clozapine and pimozide)
Inhibitors: SSRIs (e.g., uoxetine and sertraline),
pimozide, and terbinafne
Inducers: carbamazepine, phenytoin, and riampin
CYP3A4 (most relevant to dermatologists)
Accounts or up to 50% o all drug metabolism
Substrates: many!—wararin, carbamazepine, doxepin,
sertraline, antidysrhythmics (e.g., amiodarone, digoxin,
and quinidine), CCBs (e.g., diltiazem and niedipine),
chemotherapy (e.g., doxorubicin, vinblastine, and
cyclophosphamide), H1 antihistamines, HMG CoA
reductase inhibitors (lovastatin and simvastatin), OCPs/
estrogens, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, CS, dapsone,
pimozide, benzodiazepines, protease inhibitors,
toacitinib, upadactinib, and colchicine

itraconazole), clarithromycin/erythromycin,
metronidazole, protease inhibitors, SSRIs (e.g., sertraline),
graperuit juice, cimetidine, and CCBs
■
Important examples: itraconazole given with
cyclosporine → toxicity; same idea i itraconazole given
w/ wararin (→ ↑ anticoagulant potential/INR) or
lovastatin (→ rhabdomyolysis)
■
Azithromycin is NOT a CYP3A4 or -1A2 inhibitor like
other macrolides
Inducers: riampin, griseoulvin, anticonvulsants (e.g.,
phenytoin and carbamazepine), dexamethasone,
eavirenz, nevirapine, and St. John’s wort
■
E.g., riampin given with OCPs → ailure o OCPs

2.10 DRUG REACTIONS
Cutaneous drug eruptions (CDEs) are one o the most
common adverse drug reactions; occur in up to 1% o
patients receiving systemic meds
■
Highest risk medications (% on medication that
develop rash): aminopenicillins (up to 8%) .
anticonvulsants (5%) . TMP-SMX (4%) . NSAIDs
(0.5%)
CDEs are divided into simple (no visceral/systemic
involvement) and complex (systemic involvement)
■
2% o all CDEs are SCARs (severe cutaneous adverse
reactions 5 SJS/TEN, DRESS/DHS, AGEP, anaphylaxis,
anticoagulant-induced skin necrosis, and generalized
fxed drug eruption)
SCARs are seen in 1/1000 hospitalized patients
Three most common morphologies: morbilliorm
(.92%) . urticarial (6%) . vasculitis (2%)
Pathophysiology: immunologically mediated
(Table 2.10) (drugs act as haptens inducing
immunologic response) or non-immunologic
(overdose, pharmacologic AEs, cumulative toxicity,
delayed toxicity, drug-drug interactions, alterations in
metabolism, and exacerbation o existing disease)
■
Patch testing may be useul in identiying the
responsible drug in some immunologic reactions such
as fxed drug eruption, AGEP, or symmetrical drugrelated intertriginous and exural exanthema (SDRIFE)
HIV(1) patients have ↑↑ incidence o CDEs
■
Highest risk when CD4 count is 100 to 400/mm
■
Most common: TMP-SMX (rash in 40% o HIV
patients), dapsone, b-lactams, nevirapine, abacavir,
and anticonvulsants

CHAPTER 2 Dermatopharmacology
Morbilliorm (aka exanthematous or
maculopapular drug eruption)
Most common drug reaction aecting skin; mechanism 5
cell-mediated hypersensitivity; onset typically 7–14 days
ater drug initiation
Most common culprit drugs: b-lactams (PCNs and CSNs),
TMP-SMX, anticonvulsants, and allopurinol
Viral inections ↑ incidence o drug reactions:
■
Ampicillin in patients w/ EBV-mononucleosis → rash
in ,100% o children and up to 70% adults
■
Up to 40% o AIDS patients get rash to TMP-SMX
Rash starts w/ red-pink macules/papules in groin/axilla →
later, symmetrically distributed red macules, papules, and
urticarial-like lesions on the trunk and upper extremities →
conuent over time; signifcant pruritus (helps distinguish
rom viral exanthema); spares mucous membranes;
eruption subsides 1 to 2 weeks ater drug cessation
■
Features concerning or SCAR: acial edema or
peripheral eosinophilia (DRESS); mucosal
involvement or dusky/painul skin (early SJS/TEN)
Histopathology: mild basal vacuolar and spongiotic
changes with a ew necrotic keratinocytes (50%),
superfcial to mid dermal perivascular lymphohistiocytic
infltrate with some eosinophils
Rx: supportive, with topical steroids and anti-pruritics;
stop drug usually, but may attempt to “treat through” i
drug is essential (very low rate o progression to SJS/TEN)
Urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis
See Chapter 3.9
Fixed drug eruption/Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis
See Chapter 3.3
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS)
Severe systemic drug reaction with 10% mortality
Develops 2–6 weeks ater initiation o drug (later than
other drug reactions)
Most common symptoms 5 ever (85%) and
morbilliorm skin eruption (75%); also see
lymphadenopathy, arthralgias (. arthritis), multiorgan
involvement (Table 2.11) (liver most common [primary
cause o mortality in DRESS], ollowed by kidney),
peripheral eosinophilia (.1500 absolute eosinophils),
mononucleosis-like atypical lymphocytosis
■
RegiSCAR criteria can be helpul (Table 2.12)
Rash starts on ace and upper trunk/extremities; appears
morbilliorm at onset → becomes edematous (acial
edema is classic early clue), with ollicular accentuation
1/– tense vesicles/bullae, pustules, and purpuric lesions
Systemic involvement can persist ater drug withdrawal

Late sequelae: thyroiditis/Graves’ syndrome, SIADH,
myocarditis and diabetes; 10%–20% mortality
Risk actors:
■
Genetic polymorphisms in drug metabolism: inability
to detoxiy arene oxide metabolites (aromatic
anticonvulsants: phenobarbital, phenytoin, and
carbamazepine) or slow acetylator (sulonamides)
■
HLA-A*3101 (Northern Europeans on carbamazepine),
HLA-B-5801 (Han Chinese on allopurinol)
■
Possible role or viral reactivation (HHV-6 or EBV .
HHV-7, CMV)
Most common meds: aromatic anticonvulsants
(phenytoin, carbamazepine, and phenobarbital; all crossreact), lamotrigine (when co-administered with
valproate), sulonamides, minocycline, dapsone,
allopurinol, contrast media, allopurinol, abacavir, and
nevirapine
DIHS variants:
■
Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome: ↑ risk i
cannot detoxiy arene oxide metabolites; liver
involvement in 70%; less common to have kidney,
lung, or heart involvement; switch to valproic acid or
levetiracetam instead o aromatic anticonvulsants
■
Allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome: usually seen in
patients with renal ailure; ↑↑ risk or Han Chinese
with HLA-B-5801; liver involvement in 70%; kidney in
up to 80%; also a/w pancreatitis and diabetes; rare to
have lung or lymph node involvement; 25% mortality
■
Sulonamide hypersensitivity syndrome: ↑ risk i slow
acetylator
■
Dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome: concomitant
hemolysis and methemoglobinemia common (due to
dapsone eect) → ↑ bilirubin → icterus;
lymphadenopathy in 80%; lacks eosinophilia; liver
involvement can be atal; ↑ risk in Chinese with
HLA-B*13:01
■
Minocycline hypersensitivity syndrome: typically seen
in young adults undergoing acne treatment; F . M;
a/w glutathione S-transerase defciency; strong a/w
interstitial eosinophilic pneumonia; liver
involvement in 75%; renal involvement in up to 20%
Treatment: discontinue medication, supportive care, and
systemic steroids
■

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP)
Acute, ebrile pustular drug eruption that mimics von
Zumbusch pustular psoriasis; occurs rapidly (,4 days)
ater drug administration
Presents with high ever and small (,5 mm) non-
ollicular, sterile pustules arising on the background o
edematous red skin; most commonly begins on ace and
intertriginous sites → generalizes within hours
■
50% o patients have purpuric or EM–like lesions,
mucosal involvement, edema o hands/ace, or bullae
→ these fndings help dierentiate rom pustular
psoriasis
■
↑↑↑ WBC count with peripheral neutrophilia 1/–
eosinophilia, hypocalcemia, and renal insufciency
Patch test positive in majority (50%–60%)
Most common drugs: b-lactam (PCNs and CSNs) and
macrolide antibiotics . CCBs (diltiazem most common)
and antimalarials. Other causes: mercury exposure,
radiocontrast, or enterovirus
Histopathology: subcorneal and intraepidermal
spongiorm pustules with neutrophils, prominent
superfcial dermal edema, and perivascular mixed
inammatory infltrate with neutrophils and eosinophils
■
Presence o edema and eosinophils, and lack o
signifcant acanthosis helps dierentiate rom pustular
psoriasis
Rx: stop drug, supportive therapy with topical steroids and
antipyretics
Photosensitive drug reactions
Due to exogenous photosensitizing agents (meds); may be
either phototoxic (most common) or photoallergic
Phototoxic: common and predictable; occurs in anyone
who receives enough drug and UVR; most commonly due
to systemic meds
2.10 Drug Reactions
■
Mechanism: direct interaction between UVR (UVA
most common) and drug/drug metabolites → ree
radicals → damage to skin cells
■
Presents with painul exaggerated sunburn-like
eruption 1/– blistering within hours → heals with
hyperpigmentation
■
Histopathology (same as sunburn): necrotic
keratinocytes (“sunburn cells”), dermal edema,
minimal dermal inammation, and vasodilation
■
Most common drugs: tetracyclines (demeclocycline .
doxycycline . TCN ». minocycline), NSAIDs
(naproxen and piroxicam), uoroquinolones,
amiodarone, psoralens, phenazothiazines
(chlorpromazine and prochlorperazine), voriconazole
(XP-like presentation w/ ↑↑ risk o aggressive SCC,
eruptive lentigines, premature aging, and early death),
St. John’s wort, EGFR inhibitors, RAF inhibitors, HCTZ,
imipramine
■
Clinical variants:
Pseudoporphyria
♦ Causes: NSAIDs (naproxen is #1), thiazides,
voriconazole, urosemide, TCNs, nalidixic acid,
and tanning bed exposure; may also occur in
hemodialysis patients
♦ Skin fndings similar to PCT, but lacks
hypertrichosis, sclerodermoid eatures, and
hyperpigmentation
♦ Normal porphyrin studies
♦ Histology/DIF: similar to PCT
Photoonycholysis (psoralens and TCNs)
Slate gray hyperpigmentation (amiodarone, TCAs,
and diltiazem)
Photolichenoid eruptions (HCTZ and NSAIDs most
commonly)
UV recall (MTX)
Phytophotodermatitis (urocoumarin-containing
plants 5 parsley, celery, lime, fg, and
yarrow)
Photoallergic: less common, but more chronic than
phototoxic; idiosyncratic; only occurs in sensitized
patients (delayed-type hypersensitivity); oten persists
ater withdrawal o medication; most commonly due to
topical photoallergens
■
Mechanism: cell-mediated hypersensitivity; UVR
(especially UVA) induces chemical change in drug →
becomes photoallergen; requires sensitization with 7-
to 10-day incubation period
■
Presents with itchy, eczematous to lichenoid eruption
on sun-exposed areas initially → later spreads to non–
sun-exposed sites; less likely to be bullous than
phototoxic reactions
■
Histopathology: spongiotic dermatitis, superfcial
perivascular inammation with eosinophils
■
Most common drugs: sunscreens containing
oxybenzone (benzophenone-3) . ragrances (6-methyl
coumarin, musk ambrette, and sandalwood oil),
NSAIDs (piroxicam [patch positive to thimerosal] and
ketoproen), griseoulvin, quinidine/quinine,
sulonamides, and quinolones
■
Diagnosis confrmed by photopatch testing (utilizing
UVA)

CHAPTER 2 Dermatopharmacology
■
Drug-induced pigmentary changes
Hyperpigmentation:
■
May be localized or generalized; oten
photodistributed
■
Arises by many mechanisms, including: (1) drug/drug
metabolite deposition; (2) induction o melanin
production; (3) post-inammatory changes due to
photosensitive eruptions
■
Oten a/w melanonychia (longitudinal, diuse, or
transverse) and/or oral pigmentation
■
Most common drugs: minocycline, chemotherapeutics,
and AZT, antimalarials, and heavy metals
■
Usually reversible, but may take months to years
Most common agents: (1) phenols/catechols (includes
hydroquinone, monobenzyl ether o hydroquinone,
various phenol derivatives, and p-cresol); (2)
sulhydryls (includes methimazole); and (3)
miscellaneous drugs (PPD, CS, azelaic acid, benzyl
alcohol, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mercurials,
arsenic, thiotepa, and physostigmine)
■
Reversible, except monobenzyl ether o
hydroquinone (permanent depigmentation at
application site and distant skin)
Bullous drug reactions, lichenoid drug eruptions, drug-induced connective tissue disease
Hypopigmentation:
■
Most requently due to topical medications, but also
seen with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib most
commonly; due to inhibition o KIT receptor
inhibition, which is involved in melanogenesis)
■
May be a/w lightening o hair
