It has a pronounced immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing the activation of the T-cell immune response. The high selectivity of its mechanism of action, the absence of an atrophogenic effect, and the possibility of use on delicate areas of the skin have ensured sustained interest in the drug among both researchers and clinicians. Although the approved indication is limited to atopic dermatitis, in actual practice, considerable experience has been gained in the off-label use of tacrolimus ointment for a wide range of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune dermatoses. The first part of the review, published earlier, presented information on the history of development and pharmacological characteristics of the drug, as well as summarized data on its efficacy in vitiligo and fibrotic connective tissue diseases. This publication continues to systematize the available evidence base and focuses on analyzing the clinical experience of using tacrolimus in other nosologies. This part of the review examines the results of using tacrolimus ointment for rosacea, perioral and seborrheic dermatitis, papulosquamous dermatoses (including psoriasis and lichen planus), as well as for skin manifestations of lupus erythematosus. In addition, data are presented on the use of tacrolimus in various forms of eczematous dermatoses not associated with atopy, as well as in alopecia and a number of other less common skin diseases. Analysis of published clinical trials and observational series indicates the promise of expanding the range of indications for the use of the drug. Systematization of the presented data may contribute to a more informed and rational use of tacrolimus ointment in dermatological practice and sets directions for future research.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Мазь такролимуса, относящаяся к классу топических ингибиторов кальциневрина, является одним из наиболее изученных наружных препаратов в истории дерматологии. Она обладает выраженным иммуносупрессивным и противовоспалительным действием за счет подавления активации Т-клеточного звена иммунного ответа. Высокая селективность механизма действия, отсутствие атрофогенного эффекта и возможность применения на деликатных участках кожи обеспечили препарату устойчивый интерес как у исследователей, так и у клиницистов. Хотя зарегистрированное показание ограничено атопическим дерматитом, в реальной практике накоплен значительный опыт применения мази такролимуса по незарегистрированным (off-label) показаниям при широком спектре хронических воспалительных и аутоиммунных дерматозов. В первой части обзора, опубликованной в предыдущем номере, были представлены сведения об истории разработки и фармакологических характеристиках препарата, а также обобщены данные о его эффективности при витилиго и фиброзирующих заболеваниях соединительной ткани. Настоящая публикация, которая продолжает систематизацию имеющейся доказательной базы, сосредоточена на анализе клинического опыта применения такролимуса при других нозологиях: рассмотрены результаты использования мази такролимуса при розацеа, периоральном и себорейном дерматите, папулосквамозных дерматозах (включая псориаз и красный плоский лишай), а также при кожных проявлениях красной волчанки. Кроме того, представлены данные по применению такролимуса при аллергическом контактном дерматите и экземе, а также при алопециях и ряде других менее распространенных кожных заболеваниях. Анализ опубликованных клинических исследований и серий наблюдений указывает на перспективность расширения спектра показаний к применению препарата. Систематизация представленных данных может способствовать более обоснованному и рациональному использованию мази такролимуса в дерматологической практике и задает направления для будущих исследований.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>tacrolimus ointment</kwd><kwd>topical administration</kwd><kwd>off-label use</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мазь такролимуса</kwd><kwd>наружное применение</kwd><kwd>незарегистрированные показания</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Amir Ali A, Vender R, Vender R.
