Description

Docosanol is a drug that is used for the treatment of various skin disorders, including psoriasis, eczema, and ichthyosis. It is also used as an adjuvant in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Docosanol is a lipid molecule that has been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiprotozoal properties. It can be used as a carrier for topical medications and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. The mechanism of action for docosanol is not well understood but may involve its ability to bind to Toll-like receptors on macrophages and neutrophils in the skin. This binding inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Docosanol also has physiological effects on water balance by acting as a surfactant in the lungs and preventing water vapor from escaping through respiratory membranes in the nose or mouth.
