Tazarotene (Tazorac) is a synthetic acetylenic retinoid that is converted to its active form, tazarotenic acid, after topical application. 

Tazarotene (Tazorac) is a synthetic retinoid that is hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, tazarotenic acid, which modulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. It is available as a 0.05% or 0.1% gel and cream and is applied once daily (usually in the evening) for mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. Adverse effects are dose- and frequency related and include mild to moderate pruritus, burning, stinging, and erythema. Application of the gel to eczematous skin or to more than 20% of body surface area is not recommended because this may lead to extensive systemic absorption. Tazarotene is often used with topical corticosteroids to decrease local adverse effects and increase efficacy.

Systemically administered retinoids such as isotretinoin (1, Accutane ) have several disadvantages such as a relatively narrow therapeutic index and a variety of toxic effects including teratogenicity. Topically administered retinoids may avoid some of those drawbacks. For instance, tazarotene (2, Tazorac ) is a topical receptor-selective retenoid that normalizes differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes. Its major metabolite, tazarotenic acid (11), binds to retinoic acid receptors (RARs) with high affinity.

Tazarotene (Tazorac) is an acetylenic retinoid prodrug that is hydrolyzed to its active form by an esterase. The active metabolite, tazarotenic acid, binds to retinoic acid receptors, resulting in modified gene expression. The precise mechanism of action in psoriasis is unknown but may relate to both anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative actions. Tazarotene is absorbed percutaneously, and teratogenic systemic concentrations may be achieved if applied to more than 20% of total body surface area. Women of childbearing potential must therefore be advised of the risk prior to initiating therapy, and adequate birth control measures must be utilized while on therapy. 

Tazarotene. Tazarotene (Tazorac) is indicated for the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis. It is applied topicall) as a 0.05% or 0.1% emollient cream. It has been used on up to 20% of the skin. As with other topical retinoids, care must be taken to protect eye. mouth, and mucous membranes. and occlusive dressings should be avoided. 

Tazarotene (Tazorac) is a third-generation retinoid approved for the treatment of psoriasis and acne vulgaris. This retinoid binds to aU three RARs. In mice, tazarotene blocks ornithine decarboxylase activity, which is associated with cell proliferation and hyperplasia. In cell culmre, it suppresses markers of epidermal inflammation and inhibits comification of the keratinocyte.
