Crisaborole is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) inhibitor; PDE-4 inhibition results in increased intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, though the specific mechanism by which it treats atopic dermatitis is not well defined.
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.
