Biochem/physiol Actions

EC23 is a synthetic, photostable all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) analog/mimetic that targets RAR with greater affinity than ATRA (RARα/β/γ EC50 by cell-free TR-FRET binding assay = 3.7/3.3/16.8 with EC23 vs. 16.0/17.6/14.7 nM with ATRA) and does not bind retinoid x receptors (RXRs). EC23 induces differentiation of human pluripotent embryonic stem cells (0.1-10 μM) with a similar or better efficiency than ATRA.

The natural retinoid, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), is widely used to direct the in vitro differentiation of stem cells. However, substantial degradation and isomerisation of ATRA in response to UV-vis light has serious implications with regard to experimental reproducibility and
Hesham Haffez et al.
Molecular neurobiology, 55(3), 1942-1950 (2017-03-01)
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) plays key roles in neurogenesis mediated by retinoic acid receptors (RARs). RARs are important targets for the therapeutic regulation of neurogenesis but effective drug development depends on modelling-based strategies to design high-specificity ligands in combination with

Two chalcone derivatives, xanthoangelol (1) and 4-hydroxyderricin (II) isolated from Angelica keiskei Koidzumi, inhibited pig gastric H+, K(+)-ATPase with IC50 values of 1.8 and 3.3 microM, respectively. The inhibition by I or II was competitive with respect to ATP and

Persistent infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the leading causes of end-stage liver disease (ESLD), such as decompensated cirrhosis and liver cancer. Of particular note, nearly half of HCV-infected people in the United States are reported to
Victoria B Christie et al.
Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 6(19), 3497-3507 (2008-12-17)
All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and its associated analogues are important mediators of cell differentiation and function during the development of the nervous system. It is well known that ATRA can induce the differentiation of neural tissues from human pluripotent stem cells.
