Arotinoids, a new class of highly active retinoids
Loeliger,Bollag,Mayer
, p. 9 - 15 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis and biological activity of new aromatic retinoids are reported. The most active ones belong to a chemical class of compounds, which we have termed 'arotinoids'. For the compound p-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)-propenyl)]-benzoic acid ethyl ester, a therapeutic potency in the antipapilloma test was found which exceeds that of retinoic acid by a factor of 8000, while the concurrently observed toxic hypervitaminosis A effects are only increased by a factor of 800. The structural relationship of the arotinoids with retinoic acid is demonstrated; the arotinoids contain the retinoic acid carbon skeleton in a fixed cisoid geometric conformation.
