Retinoid Receptor

Retinoid receptor ligands act on retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs). Both are nuclear receptors with α, β and γ subtypes that bind DNA as RAR-RXR heterodimers and regulate gene transcription. A receptor for the morphogen retinoic acid was identified in 1987 as a member of the nuclear receptor family. In 1990 a second receptor responding to retinoic acid, later named RXRα, revealed a distinct retinoid pathway. Tretinoin, the all-trans form of retinoic acid, activates RARs, while tamibarotene and AM 580 favor RARα and CD 437 favors RARγ. Adapalene, tazarotene, acitretin and fenretinide are synthetic retinoids, whereas bexarotene is a ligand selective for RXRs.

This compound exhibits significant biological activity, including antidepressant effects and growth inhibition in Caenorhabditis elegans with an IC50 of 7.5 mM. D-Arabinose penetrates the blood-brain barrier, specifically modulating the metabolism of D-ribose and D-fructose, while also demonstrating antibacterial properties by inhibiting biofilm synthesis. Additionally, it activates the ACSS2-PPARγ/TFEB-CRTC1 axis via the lysosomal AXIN-LKB1-AMPK pathway, leading to antidepressant-like outcomes.
