Abstract

Topical administration of PR022, 0.05% hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in gel has been demonstrated to be beneficial in a chronic murine atopic dermatitis model. In a follow up study we tested a higher concentration (0.1%) of PR022 HOCl gel in comparison to the Janus kinase inhibitor tofacitinib, both of which are currently in clinical phase studies for treatment of human atopic dermatitis. The effect of topically administered HOCl (0.1%) in gel was compared to a topical formulation of tofacitinib (0.5%) in a therapeutic setting on atopic dermatitis-like lesions in NC/Nga mice as well as itch behaviour. NC/Nga mice were sensitized with house dust mite allergen. After reaching visible lesions, mice were treated either topically with HOCl or tofacitinib or gel vehicle for 17 days. After termination of the study, dorsal root ganglia were isolated for ex vivo stimulation and skin samples were taken for cytokine determination in inflamed skin. When administered onto lesional skin of NC/Nga mice, both HOCl and tofacitinib reduced lesions and scratching behaviour. The reduced inflammatory response by HOCl and tofacitinib treatment was demonstrated by diminished inflammatory cytokines in affected skin tissue from NC/Nga mice. Dorsal root ganglia neurons re-stimulated with a range of mediators of itch showed a reduced response compared to the vehicle control mice, when isolated from tofacitinib or HOCl treated mice. These data indicate a similar beneficial potential of topical high dose PR022 HOCl (0.1%) in gel and tofacitinib, in a translational murine model of atopic dermatitis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 303. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 July 2018.
All research outputs
#95,803
of 23,094,276 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology
#1
of 445 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,356
of 327,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology
#1
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,094,276 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 445 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,912 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
