Description
Ro 41-5253 (144092-31-9) is a selective RARα antagonist.1?Binds RARα without inducing transcription or influencing RAR/RXR heterodimerization and DNA binding.2?Ro 415253 inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of cell lines/types. Cell Permeable.
Uses
Ro 415253 is a retinoic acid receptor antagonists, a promising starting point for antimetastatic therapies.
Definition
ChEBI: A thiochromane that is 3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzothiopyran S,S-dioxide in which the hydrogens at position 4 are both replaced by methyl groups, the hydrogens at position 7 is replaced by a heptyloxy group, w
ile the hydrogen at position 6 is replaced by a 1-phenylprop-1-en-2-yl group, the phenyl group of which is substituted at the para position by a carboxy group. It is a selective antagonist for retinoic acid receptor alpha.
