Pyratine-XR

PRK124 (Pyratine-XR) is a topical dermatological agent formulated as a 0.125% moisturizing lotion for the treatment of mild-to-moderate rosacea. Its active ingredient, furfuryl tetrahydropyranyladenine, is a synthetic analog of the plant cytokinin kinetin. Developed by Senetek PLC, PRK124 is designed to improve skin barrier function and reduce the clinical signs of rosacea, including erythema (redness) and inflammatory papules. The compound is noted for its high tolerability and lack of skin irritation, which is particularly beneficial for rosacea patients who typically exhibit hypersensitive skin. Clinical data supports its efficacy and safety for long-term use up to 48 weeks.
