Structural basis for the differential RXR & RAR activity of stilbene retinoid analogs Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Retinoids elicit their biological actions by activating nuclear receptors that regulate gene transcription. There are six known retinoid receptors which belong to the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) families. We report RXR-active stilbene retinoid analogs and discuss the structural features that impart RAR and RXR activation properties to compounds of this class. 1994.
