Anticancer agent 168 is an orally active retinoic acid receptor (RAR/RXR) beta2 agonist with ameliorating effects on spinal cord injury (SCI)[1].
CD437 is a selective Retinoic Acid Receptor γ (RARγ) agonist.
UVI 3003 is a highly selective antagonist of retinoid X receptor (RXR), and inhibits xenopus and human RXRα in Cos7 cells, with IC50s of 0.22 and 0.24 μM, respectively.
Palovarotene is a nuclear retinoic acid receptor γ (RAR-γ) agonist.
Fenretinide is a synthetic retinoid deriverative, binding to the retinoic acid receptors (RAR) at concentrations necessary to induce cell death.
Ch55 is a potent synthetic retinoid. Ch55 binds to RAR-α and RAR-β receptors with high affinity. Ch55 displays low affinity for cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP). Ch55 is a potent inducer of the differentiation of HL60 cells with an EC50 of 200 nM. Ch55 can be used for cancer research[1][2].
Oxybenzone-d5 is the deuterium labeled Oxybenzone[1]. Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3) is a commonly used UV filter in sun tans and skin protectants. Oxybenzone act as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and can pass through the placental and blood-brain barriers. Benzophenone-3 impairs autophagy, alters epigenetic status, and disrupts retinoid X receptor signaling in apoptotic neuronal cells[2][3][4].
MSU-42011 is an orally active retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist. MSU-42011 inhibits the expression of iNOS and p-ERK protein. MSU-42011 has immunomodulatory and antitumor activity. MSU-42011 can be used for cancer research[1].
Magnolol, a natural lignan isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia officinalis, is a dual agonist of both RXRα and PPARγ, with EC50 values of 10.4 µM and 17.7 µM, respectively.
Tazarotene is a selective retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist for the treatment of plaque psoriasis and acne vulgaris.
AM580 is a selective RARα agonist with IC50 and EC50 of 8 nM and 0.36 nM, respectively.
Amsilarotene (TAC-101; Am 555S), an orally active synthetic retinoid, has selective affinity for retinoic acid receptor α (RAR-α) binding with Ki of 2.4, 400 nM for RAR-α and RAR-β. Amsilarotene induces the apoptotic of human gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma cells. Amsilarotene can be used for the research of cancer[1][2][3].
Trifarotene is a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist with Kdapp of 2, 15 and 500 nM for RARγ, RARβ and RARα, respectively.
9-cis-Retinoic acid (ALRT1057), a vitamin A derivative, is a potent RAR/RXR agonist. 9-cis-Retinoic acid induces apoptosis, regulates cell cycle and has anticancer, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotection activities[1][2][3][4][5].
