Abstract:
The effect of tiacrilast, a mast cell mediator-release inhibitor, was studied in dinitrofluorobenzene-induced allergic and croton oil- or dimethyl sulfoxide-induced irritant murine contact dermatitis. At 1% concentration, the compound significantly reduced the ear swelling in both allergic and irritant dermatitis and preserved the mast cell architecture on histopathology. These findings suggest that mast cells participate in the elicitation of murine contact dermatitis.
