Analogues of retinoic acid have been synthesized as potential chemopreventive agents against epithelial cancer. Ethyl (E)-9-(2-norbornenyl)-3,7-dimethylnona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoate (9), (E)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2-ethyl-6,6-dimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)nona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid (25), and 2-(2'-methoxyethoxy)ethyl retinoate (26) displayed good activity in the inhibition of tumor promoter-induced mouse epidermal ornithine decarboxylase assay. (E)-1-(3-Acetoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-6-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)hexa1,3,5 -triene (34) had low activity. (E)-5-[2,6-Dimethyl-8-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)octa-1,3,5,7-tetraen-1 -yl]tetrazole (40) was inactive.

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).

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).
