Synthesis and characterization of new 10-acylderivatives of the antipsoriatic agent dithranol: coupling products of dithranol with all-trans-retinoic acid, 13-cis-retinoid acid and an aromatic analogue of retinoic acid: all-trans-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,7-dimethyl- nona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoate. 1990

The synthesis of new 10-acylderivatives of dithranol 1 is described. Compound 1 was reacted with the acid chlorides of all-trans retinoic acid 5, 13-cis-retinoic acid 6 and all-trans-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,7-dimethyl-nona-2,4,6,8- tetraenoate 7 in toluene and collidin as a base to give the coupling products 2, 3 and 4. The different structures were confirmed by high resolution 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Initial investigations with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase indicate that all of them are inhibitors of the protein and therefore might have antipsoriatic activity.

D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

D014212 Tretinoin An important regulator of GENE EXPRESSION during growth and development, and in NEOPLASMS. Tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid and derived from maternal VITAMIN A, is essential for normal GROWTH; and EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT. An excess of tretinoin can be teratogenic. It is used in the treatment of PSORIASIS; ACNE VULGARIS; and several other SKIN DISEASES. It has also been approved for use in promyelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, PROMYELOCYTIC, ACUTE).
