Targeted treatment of pruritus – a look into the future

Abstract

Recent advances in pruritus research have elucidated mediators and neuronal pathways involved in itch transmission and this fast-emerging knowledge may possibly be translated into new therapies in the near future. In the skin and peripheral nerves, potential mediator and receptor therapeutic targets include the H4 histamine receptor, proteinase-activated receptor 2, serine proteases, Cathepsin S, peripheral mu- and kappa- opioid receptors, interleukin-31, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 and 3, fatty acid amide hydrolase, nerve growth factor and its receptor, acetylcholine, and the Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor. In the spinal cord, gastrin-related peptide ...
