Adapalene modulates cellular keratinization and inflammatory process. This anti-inflammatory effect is due to inhibition of the lipooxygenase activity and also to oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid. These mechanisms may be the reason for decreased risk of irritation with adapalene.
Pharmacokinetic studies have demonstrated that only trace amounts of adapalene are systemically absorbed and are excreted through the hepatobiliary route. There have been no reported carcinogenic, mutagenic, or genotoxic effects of topical adapalene in either in vivo or in vitro studies
