pubmed:abstractText
Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPP) is a chronic, relapsing condition often recalcitrant to therapy. Synthetic retinoids have been found to be efficacious in the treatment of PPP, but their use is limited by side-effects. Liarozole is an imidazole-like compound that inhibits the retinoic acid (RA) 4-hydroxylase-mediated breakdown of all-trans RA, causing elevation of plasma and cutaneous levels of RA. Thus liarozole acts as a retinoid-mimetic drug. Liarozole has already been found to be effective in the treatment of retinoid-responsive conditions such as chronic plaque psoriasis and ichthyoses.
