4-HYDROXYPHENYLRETINAMIDE

Chemical Properties

4-HYDROXYPHENYLRETINAMIDE is Yellow Powder

Uses

4-HYDROXYPHENYLRETINAMIDE is an effective agent for the chemoprevention and growth modulation of oncogene-induced prostate cancer in the mouse prostate reconstitution model system and may be effective for the chemoprevention of human prostate cancer

Uses

Retinoic acid receptor ligand

Uses

A synthetic analog of Vitamin A.

Definition

ChEBI: A retinoid obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of all-trans retinoic acid and the anilino group of 4-hydroxyaniline. Synthetic retinoid agonist. Antiproliferative, antioxidant and anticancer agent with a long half-life in ivo. Apoptotic effects appear to be mediated by a mechanism distinct from that of 'classical' retinoids.

General Description

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

Biological Activity
