Pharmacology
Abrocitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that reversibly inhibits JAK1 by blocking the ATP binding site. It is selective for JAK1 over JAK2 (28-fold), JAK3 (>340-fold), and TYK2 (43-fold).
Tapinarof is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist; the specific mechanisms by which VTAMA cream exerts its therapeutic actions in plaque psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are unknown.
