Application

CGP 52608 has been used as a RAR related orphan receptor α (RORα) synthetic agonist in THP-1 macrophages, in human monocyte cells THP1 and somatic testicular cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CGP 52608 is a thiazolidine derivative and an antiarthritic compound. It possesses immunostimulatory functionality and elicits antiproliferative effect in colon tumors. It is cytotoxic towards neural cell lines. CGP 52608 induces apoptosis in tumor and also favors G0-G1 cell cycle phase accumulation in neural cell lines.
CGP 52608 is a specific activator of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor α (RORA).

Two putative melatonin receptors have been described including the cell surface G-protein-linked receptors, mt1 and MT2, and the nuclear retinoic orphan receptor alpha (RORalpha). The mt1 receptor, but not the MT2 receptor, is expressed in human breast tumor cell lines
