Allergic Drug Reactions

1.4K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Hypersensitivities

7.2K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

1.7K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Anionic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview

2.6K
The polymerization process that involves carbanion as an intermediate is called anionic polymerization. It is also a type of addition or chain-growth polymerization. Anionic polymerization gets initiated by a strong nucleophile such as an organolithium or a Grignard reagent. The most commonly used initiator for anionic polymerization is butyl lithium. Monomers involved in anionic polymerization must possess a vinyl group bonded to one or two electron-withdrawing groups. For instance,...

Summary

Acrylates, found in products like artificial nails and medical devices, are increasingly causing allergic contact dermatitis. Isobornyl acrylate is a key sensitizer, leading to skin reactions on the face, eyelids, and fingertips.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Acrylates are synthetic resins prevalent in consumer and medical products.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis from acrylates is a growing occupational and non-occupational health concern.

Observation:

  • Isobornyl acrylate, an acrylic monomer, is identified as a significant sensitizer.
  • Long-lasting nail products are a major contributor to the rising prevalence of acrylate allergy.
  • Facial and eyelid dermatitis are classic presentations, with some patients developing fingertip and nail issues.

Findings:

  • The review highlights ultraviolet-cured inks, adhesives, and diabetes-related medical devices as sources of isobornyl acrylate exposure.
  • Nail products significantly contribute to acrylate allergy.
  • Emerging exposures include surgical glues and wound-care products.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of acrylates in consumer and medical products is crucial for prevention.
  • Early diagnosis and identification of exposure sources are vital for managing acrylate allergy.
  • Further research into novel acrylate exposures can inform public health strategies and clinical practice.
