CAS 106685-40-9: Adapalene
Description:Adapalene is a synthetic retinoid, primarily used in dermatology for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It is characterized by its ability to modulate cellular differentiation, keratinization, and inflammatory processes in the skin. Adapalene exhibits a high affinity for retinoic acid receptors, which contributes to its effectiveness in promoting cell turnover and preventing the formation of comedones. The compound is typically formulated as a topical gel or cream, allowing for localized treatment with minimal systemic absorption. Adapalene is known for its stability in light and heat, making it suitable for various formulations. Common side effects may include skin irritation, dryness, and peeling, particularly during the initial stages of treatment. Unlike some other retinoids, adapalene is less likely to cause photosensitivity, allowing for daytime application. Its efficacy and safety profile have made it a popular choice in acne management, often recommended for both adolescents and adults.
