-
Page/Page column 18-19, (2011/12/02)
The present invention provides an improved process for the preparation of highly pure bexarotene of formula (I). The present invention also provides impurities of bexarotene, method of isolation and identification of these impurities, and use of these impurities as reference marker as well as reference standard.
Modeling, synthesis and biological evaluation of potential Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) selective agonists: Novel analogues of 4-[1-(3,5,5,8,8- pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)ethynyl]benzoic acid (bexarotene)

This report describes the synthesis of analogues of 4-[1-(3,5,5,8,8- pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)ethynyl]benzoic acid (1), commonly known as bexarotene, and their analysis in acting as retinoid X receptor (RXR)-specific agonists. Compound 1 has FDA approval to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL); however, its use can cause side effects such as hypothyroidism and increased triglyceride concentrations, presumably by disruption of RXR heterodimerization with other nuclear receptors. The novel analogues in the present study have been evaluated forRXR activation in an RXR mammalian-2-hybrid assay as well as an RXRE-mediated transcriptional assay and for their ability to induce apoptosis as well as for their mutagenicity and cytotoxicity. Analysis of 11 novel compounds revealed the discovery of three analogues that best induce RXR-mediated transcriptional activity, stimulate apoptosis, have comparable Ki and EC50 values to 1, and are selective RXR agonists. Our experimental approach suggests that rational drug design can develop new rexinoids with improved biological properties. 2009 American Chemical Society.
