BMS493 is an inverse agonist of the pan-retinoic acid receptor (RAR) that inhibits retinoic acid-induced differentiation, enhances the interaction of nuclear co-inhibitors with RARs, attenuates RA signaling, potentiates TPP-induced toxicity, and inhibits the increase in phospholipase A2 activity.

ER-50891 is a potent retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) antagonist. er-50891 reduces the inhibitory effect of allosteric retinoic acid and restores osteoblast differentiation induced by bone morphogenetic protein 2.

K-8012 is a modulator of the N-terminally truncated RXRα and improves anticancer activities in an RXRα-dependent manner.

MSU-42011 is an orally active retinoid X receptor-like (RXR) agonist. It potently inhibits the expression of iNOS, low SREBP-induced and activated RXR, and p-ERK at the protein level. MSU-42011 has demonstrated antitumor activity in a [kras]-driven mouse model of lung cancer and is effective for the treatment of preclinical [kras]-driven lung cancer with immunomodulatory activity.

KCL-286 is an orally available and potent retinoic acid receptor beta agonist for the amelioration of spinal cord injury (SCI).

Oxybenzone is a UV filter commonly used in tanning and skin protection agents. It is a derivative of benzophenone and is used as an endocrine disrupting chemical that penetrates the placental and blood-brain barriers. It impairs autophagy, alters epigenetic status and disrupts vitamin X-like receptor signaling in apoptotic neuronal cells.

Etodolac (AY-24236) inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase I and II, thereby preventing the formation of prostaglandin which is involved in the induction of pain, fever, and inflammation. Etodolac is a pyranocarboxylic acid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antipyretic and analgesic activities. It also inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking platelet cyclooxygenase and the subsequent formation of thromboxane A2.

Retinoic acid (Tretinoin), a metabolite of vitamin A, is a natural agonist of the retinoic acid receptor RAR and inhibits RARα/β/γ (IC50=14 nM). Retinoic acid induces cellular differentiation, reduces cellular proliferation, and inhibits tumorigenesis.

Adapalene (CD271) is a dual RAR and RXR agonist, utilized in the treatment of skin conditions.

Acitretin (Ro 10-1670) is a second-generation systemic retinoid used in the treatment of psoriasis.

Isotretinoin (13-cis-Retinoic acid) binds to and activates nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs), which act as transcription factors that promote cell differentiation and apoptosis. This naturally occurring retinoic acid has potential antineoplastic activity, exhibits immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory responses, and inhibits ornithine decarboxylase, thereby decreasing polyamine synthesis and keratinization.

Tamibarotene (Amnolake) is an orally active, synthetic retinoid, developed to overcome all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) resistance, with potential antineoplastic activity.

AGN 196996 is a potent and selective inhibitor of RARα (Ki: 2 nM), exhibiting very low affinity for RARβ (Ki: 1087 nM) and RARγ (Ki: 8523 nM).

BMS641 (BMS-209641) is a selective and potent RARβ agonist with high affinity for RARβ, which synergistically activates RARβ and RARgamma to induce cellular maturation into specialized neuronal subtypes.

AGN 192870 is a potent retinoic acid receptor (RAR) antagonist.AGN 192870 can be used to study cell growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis.

LG-100064 is an agonist of retinoid-X-receptor (RXR)(EC50s of 330 nM, 200 nM, and 260 nM for RXRα, RXRβ and RXRγ)

Liarozole (R75251 dihydrochloride) is a cytochrome P450 (CYP450) dependent inhibitor, orally active, it also a potent inhibitor of estrogen (via inhibition of aromatase) and testicular androgen synthesis (inhibition of 17 ,20-lyase).Liarozole dihydrochloride is an imidazole derivative; it is being investigated as a non-hormonal agent in prostate cancer and in the treatment of various other cancers and skin disorders.

TTNPB (Ro 13-7410,AGN-191183), a potent RAR agonist, inhibits binding of [3H]tRA of human RARα (IC50: 5.1 nM), β (IC50: 4.5 nM), and γ (IC50: 9.3 nM), respectively.

AC-261066 is an orally available and isoform-selective agonist of RARβ2 with a pEC50 of 8.0.

AC-55649 is a potent and highly isoform-selective agonist of the human RARβ2 receptor, characterized by a pEC50 of 6.9.

AGN 194310 (VTP-194310) is a pan-antagonist for retinoic acid receptors (RARs), with Kd values of 3 nM, 2 nM, and 5 nM for RARα, RARβ, and RARγ, respectively[1][2].

CD2665 is an orally active antagonist of retinoic acid receptor (RAR). For RARγ and RARβ, the Kis are 110 nM and 306 nM.
