Topical treatment of tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor through borneol-embedded hydrogel: Evaluation for preventive, therapeutic, and Recurrent management of psoriasis

< 0.05). Moreover, a strengthened anti-inflammatory effect caused by TYK2i-BO-gel is seen in a human skin explant model, implying its potential application for human patients. With the addition of BO, the TYK2i-BO-gel not only increases skin permeability but also inhibits the expression of antimicrobial peptides in keratinocytes and facilitates the anti-Th17 response of TYK2i with suppressed activation of STAT3. Therefore, this work represents the accessibility and effectiveness of TYK2i-BO-hydrogel as a new topical formulation for anti-psoriasis management and shows great potential for clinical application.
