Deriva : Mechanism of Action

Adapalene (Deriva) has selective receptor binding activity thus providing an improved risk-benefit ratio in the treatment of acne with retinoids. Adapalene does not bind to cytosolic retinoic acid binding proteins (CRABPs) improved tolerance.
It activates only g and b subtype receptors and it has no effect on the RXRs Specificity to tackle terminal differentiation.
Sales Training
Clinical Pharmacology
Adapalene is a modulator of cellular
differentiation, keratinization, and

inflammatory processes all of which
represent important features in the

pathology of acne vulgaris.
Sales Training
Pharmacokinetics
The systemic levels of adapalene detected in man, after topical exposure, are low.
Adapalene is chemically and photo chemically stable. In contrast to the other retinoids, which, in the skin, can be inactivated or converted to other active compouds.
Adapalene is mostly metabolized into Odemethylated and hydroxylated derivatives.

Sales Training
Precautions
Exposure to sunlight, including sun lamps, should be minimized during the use of adapalene. Use of sunscreen products and protective clothing over treated areas is recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, angles of the nose, and mucous membranes. The product should not be applied to cuts, abrasions, eczematous skin, or sunburned skin.
Sales Training
Drug Interactions
Concomitant use of other potentially irritating topical products (medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect, and products with high
concentrations of alcohol, astringents, spices,

or lime) should be approached with caution.
Sales Training
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

In a series of in vivo and in vitro studies, adapalene did not exhibit mutagenic or genotoxic activities.

Precautions
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk.
Caution should be exercised when Deriva Aqueous Gel is administered to a nursing woman.
Paediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 have not been established. Sales Training
Adverse Reactions
Erythema, scaling, dryness, pruritus, and burning will occur in 10-40% of patients.
Pruritus or burning immediately after application may occur in approximately 20% of patients. 1% or less of patients: skin irritation, burning/stinging, erythema, sunburn, and acne flares.
Sales Training
Dosage & Administration

Deriva Aqueous Gel should be applied once a day to affected areas after washing in the evening before retiring. During the early weeks of therapy, an apparent exacerbation of acne may occur. This is due to the action of the medication on previously unseen lesions and should not be considered a reason to discontinue therapy. Therapeutic results should be noticed after eight to twelve weeks of treatment.
Sales Training
Indications & Usage

Deriva Aqueous Gel is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris; in Type I, II and III acne with comedones.
Presentation
Deriva Aqueous Gel is available in 15 gms tube with a package insert.

Adapalene - Molecular Characteristics

Modulation of Differentiation
Due to both the affinity for the RARg receptors and the preferential localization of these receptors in cells undergoing terminal differentiation, Adapalene specifically acts on
keratinocyte terminal differentiation, which is

strongly disturbed in acne lesions.
Sales Training

Lesser Skin Irritancy
The irritation potential of adapalene was found to be low, whether tested under occlusive or non-occlusive conditions on a variety of sites (face, chest, back and buttocks). Selective receptor binding activity for RARb and g and not for RARa, whereas tretinoin binds to all 3 subtypes. Also adapalene does not bind to CRABP.
Sales Training

Lesser Skin Irritancy
Different molecular structure. In the case of tretinoin, a long chain organic acid, there could be non-specific interference with the cell membrane function, whereas Adapalene is a more neutral molecule. Adapalene is more stable chemically than tretinoin and does not break down in the presence of light as does tretinoin.
Sales Training

Anti-proliferation Action Follicular epidermal hyperplasia is usually related to comedone formation.
Adapalene has an inhibitory activity on epidermal hyperplasia. This may be attributed to the lack of affinity for RARa.
Sales Training

Skin Distribution and Follicular Penetration
Follicular penetration could be observed as
early as 5 minutes after application. After 2 hours microcrystals of Adapalene can be seen in the follicle to a depth of 400 m.
Sales Training

Skin Distribution and Follicular Penetration
Owing to its lipophilic nature, adapalene will
dissolve readily into the sebum. Thus with adapalene, double targeting to its site of action viz. the follicle is possible due to its lipophilicity and appropriate particle size.
Sales Training

Comedolytic effect
The reduction in the number of comedones
was found to be higher with adapalene (6070%) than with retinoic acid (30-50%).
Sales Training

Anti-inflammatory Activity
Moderate to strong and comparable with reference to anti-inflammatory substances such as indomethacin and betamethasone - 17 - valerate. Largely superior to the reference retinoids tested such as tretinoin.

Adapalene
After topical application, microparticles ranging from 3-10 m selectively penetrate the follicular ducts (which are the target sites in acne. Particles larger than 10 m remain on the skin surface. Particles smaller than 3 m are randomly distributed in the stratum corneum and hair follicles.

Microsphere technology
Microsponge are polymeric delivery systems consisting of porous microspheres that can entrap a wide range of active ingredients, which can then be incorporated into many
product forms, such as creams & lotions

Sales Training
Rationale of Microsphere Technology

MS Technology Offers Increased efficacy for topically active agents Enhanced safety
Extended product stability

Sales Training
Microspheres averaging 125 m in diameter act like microscopic sponges, storing the active drug until its release is triggered by application to the skin surface. Release of the drug into the skin is initiated by a variety of triggers, including rubbing and higher than ambient skin temperature.
Sales Training
Absorption takes place in a time controlled manner that reduces the incidence and severity of skin irritation. Protects from photo degradation, therefore contributes to the long term stability of active ingredients In addition, the Microsphere formulation has been shown to reduce facial oiliness which can otherwise limit adherence to prescribed regimen

Salient Features

Microspheres can entrap a wide range of active ingredients.

On application, the entrapped materials are then delivered to the skin in a controlled timerelease pattern

How Does MS Works?

The microspheres hold the medication in reserve
Allowing the skin to absorb small amounts of active
drug over time

Microspheres themselves remain on top of the skin
Thereby reducing irritation or almost no irritation
Sales Training
Conventional Vs Microsponge Technology

Conventional dosage form provide active ingredients in relatively high concentrations, with a short duration of action This may lead to a cycle of short-term overmedication followed by long-term undermedication Serious side effects can occur when active ingredients penetrate the skin in high concentration
