Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic chronic inflammatory disorder. One of the major characteristics is an excess of infiltration of inflammatory cells, mainly lymphocytes, into the skin. Because the adhesion family of selectins is suggested to play a relevant role in this process, selectins have emerged as an interesting target for drug discovery and development in psoriasis. Different strategies targeting selectins have been described. This review discusses these approaches and summarises the current development of selectin antagonists for the treatment of psoriasis. An expert opinion will give the authors’ personal opinion about selectin antagonism in psoriasis and which approach might be preferable.
