2 same The generic chemical structure of retinobenzoic acids is represented by 2.1 Groups necessary for retinoidal activities are a bulky alkyl group, such as an isopropyl or a tert-butyl group, at the meta (R,) position on one benzene ring and a carboxyl group at the para position of the other benzene ring. The linking group X can be varied (such as-NHC0-, l'J2- CONH-, 12J3-SO, NH-,-COCH= CH-) 14J5-N= N-, 16J7 and so forth), regardless of the ...
