The epithelial differentiating activity in vivo of (E)-4-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthylenyl) -1-propenyl]benzoic acid and 4,4-difluororetinoic acid. 1985

D A Miller, and A Stephens-Jarnagin, and H F DeLuca

Female rats fed on a vitamin A-deficient diet from weaning were oophorectomized after introitus and used to test analogues of all-trans-retinoic acid for epithelial differentiation activity by the vaginal-smear assay. Several modifications have been made in the assay; housing facilities were modified, the diet changed and the existing scoring system for the assay altered. The arotinoid (E)-4-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthylenyl)-1 -propenyl] benzoic acid was 12-fold more active than all-trans-retinoic acid, which had a 50% effective dose (ED50) of 80 pmol/vagina. The fluorinated analogue 4,4-difluororetinoic acid had an ED50 of 2.5 nmol/vagina and was therefore 30-fold less active than all-trans-retinoic acid.

D012176 Retinoids A group of tetraterpenes, with four terpene units joined head-to-tail. Biologically active members of this class are used clinically in the treatment of severe cystic ACNE; PSORIASIS; and other disorders of keratinization. Retinoid
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).
