Effects of Helichrysum Gymnocephalum in Pruritus associated to Atopic dermatitis

Pharmacological efficacy of Helichrysum Gymnocephalum in pruritogenic pathway in atopic dermatitis

Anti-inflammatory effect of Helichrysum gymnocephalum on IL-8 and TSLP

Anti-inflammatory effect of Helichrysum gymnocephalum on IL-8 and TSLP

Anti-inflammatory effect of Helichrysum gymnocephalum on JAK 1/2-STAT6 pathway 

JAK inhibitors are considered as the main treatments in Atopic Dermatitis.  
It was, therefore, important for us to carry out a pharmacological study in the JAK pathway to compare the efficacy of our active ingredient to JAK inhibitors. 

IL-4/IL-3 Stimulation : 15min

IL-4/IL-13 Stimulation : 15 min

STAT6 phosphorylation

STAT6 phosphorylation

Important communication link between IL-31 and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) 

IL-31 plays a major role in pruritus by causing the multiplication and development of neuritis (neurosensory fibers) via biomarkers such as BNP. Augmented release and synthesis by IL-31 of BNP might contribute to central and peripheral itch signaling.

Conclusion 

Helichrysum gymnocephalum extract inhibits :

  • The production of TSLP and IL-8
  • The phosphorylation of JAK/STAT pathway 

Helichrysum gymnocephalum has demonstrated its effectiveness in blocking neurite outgrowth as well as the production of BNP.

There is, thus, a specific anti-inflammatory and antipruritogenic properties for Atopic Dermatitis through JAK/STAT pathway.
