Tapinarof
Tapinarof is a first-in-class therapeutic aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist approved for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis and atopic dermatitis in adults. By activating AhR, it normalizes skin barrier function, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production (including IL-17A, IL-22, and Th2 cytokines), and exerts antioxidant effects. Its non-steroidal mechanism offers an alternative to topical corticosteroids without the risk of skin atrophy.
