Exploring the Role of MOA and PDE4 Pathways in Pediatric Patients with Plaque Psoriasis
Author(s)Karan Lal, DO, MS, FAAD, Helen T Shin, MD
Key Takeaways
- PDE4 inhibitors modulate inflammatory responses by increasing intracellular cAMP levels, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.
- These agents offer a targeted approach, potentially minimizing side effects compared to traditional therapies.
Panelists discuss how phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors, with their ability to modulate inflammatory pathways, hold promise as therapeutic targets for immune-mediated diseases like pediatric plaque psoriasis, offering unique benefits by potentially reducing inflammation with a favorable safety profile for pediatric patients.
