General description

Retinoic acid p-hydroxyanilide is a synthetic analog of retinoid.

Application

Retinoic acid p-hydroxyanilide has been used:
  • as a synthetic retinoid to induce apoptosis in SEB-1 sebocytes
  • as a medium supplement for C2C12 myoblasts to test its effect on ceramide formation[1]
  • to test in cytotoxicity in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Retinoic acid p-hydroxyanilide, also called fenretinide, increases reactive oxygen species, activates caspases and induces apoptosis. It also inhibits dihydroceramide desaturase, leading to a decrease in ceramide biosynthesis.[1] Fenretinide may elicit anticancer activity in cultured human breast cancer cells.[1] It acts as an insulin antagonist and may be useful in treating insulin resistance.[1] Fenretinide or 4-HPR has chemotherapeutic potential and is cytotoxic to retinoic acid-resistant cancers.[2]
Vitamin A acid analogue with antiproliferative activity; induces apoptosis in malignant hemopoietic cell lines.
