(<jats:italic>A. lappa<\/jats:italic>) has been used in traditional medicine worldwide and is increasingly being investigated for its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its therapeutic relevance for immune-mediated skin diseases (IMSDs) remains incompletely defined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review critically evaluates experimental and clinical evidence on <jats:italic>A. lappa<\/jats:italic> and its major lignans, arctiin and arctigenin, in IMSDs, including those associated with atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), alopecia, systemic sclerosis (SSc), and vasculitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus up to July 2025 using defined keywords. Eligible studies included <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>, and clinical investigations assessing the immunological and dermatological outcomes of <jats:italic>A. lappa<\/jats:italic> extracts or purified metabolites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preclinical studies have demonstrated that <jats:italic>A. lappa<\/jats:italic> extracts and their lignans modulate key inflammatory pathways, including the NF-\u03baB, JAK\/STAT, and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathways. Evidence indicates protective effects on keratinocyte hyperproliferation, mast cell activation, dermal fibroblast fibrosis, and vascular endothelial inflammation. However, most data are derived from <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> or murine models using heterogeneous preparations, with limited clinical validation. Reported doses range from 10\u2013100\u00a0\u03bcM in cell assays to 15\u2013100\u00a0mg\/kg in animal studies, but pharmacokinetic and safety data remain insufficient.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>A. lappa<\/jats:italic> shows promising immunopharmacological potential for IMSDs, but the evidence remains preliminary. The current literature is limited by variability in extract preparation, a lack of standardized dosing, and the absence of robust randomized clinical trials.
