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.

Tazarotene is a prodrug and a member of the acetylenic class of retinoids.
Synonyms: Retinoic Acid; ATRA; Vitamin A Acid
Tretinoin is an endogenous agonist for retinoic acid receptors with IC50 value of 14 nM for RAR-alpha, RAR-beta and RAR-gamma receptors).
Synonyms: LGD 1069; SR 11247; Ro 26-4455; Targretin; LG 100069
Bexarotene is a highly selective retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist.
Synonyms: ST 1926
Adarotene belongs to the so-called class of atypical retinoids. The presence of the phenolic hydroxyl group on Adarotene structure allows a rapid O-glucuronidation as a major mechanism of elimination of the drug, favoring a fast excretion of its glucuronide metabolite in the urines.
Synonyms: Am80
Tamibarotene is a retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) agonist that induces differentiation (ED50 = 0.79 nM) and apoptosis of HL-60 cells in vitro.
Synonyms: CD 336; NSC 608001; Ro 40-6055
AM 580 is an analog of retinoic acid that acts as a selective RARα agonist.
Synonyms: AHPN
CD 437 is a synthetic retinoid that is an RARγ-selective agonist.
Synonyms: 4-HPR; (4-Hydroxyphenyl)retinamide
Fenretinide is a synthetic retinoid agonist. It is an antiproliferative, antioxidant and anticancer agent with a long half-life in vivo.
Palovarotene is a novel retinoic acid receptor gamma agonist for the treatment of emphysema
AR7 was developed as a highly potent and selective enhancer of the chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) through antagonizing RARα.
Synonyms: Arotinoid acid; Ro 13-7410
TTNPB enhances reprogramming efficiency in chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs).
Synonyms: IRX4204; NRX194204; VTP 194204
AGN194204 is a selective retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist with high affinity, exhibiting Kd values of 0.4 nM, 3.6 nM, and 3.8 nM for RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ, respectively, and EC50 values of 0.2 nM, 0.8 nM, and 0.08 nM. This compound is devoid of activity against retinoic acid receptors (RAR). AGN194204 demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties, making it a valuable tool for research in inflammation and cancer biology.
Synonyms: AGN 192620; ALRT 268,CD 3127; LG 268; LGD 100268; LGD 1268
LG 100268 is a potent RXR agonist for evaluation in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
Synonyms: VTP194310
AGN 194310 is a potent and selective pan-RARs agonist with Kd values of 3/2/5 nM for RARα/β/γ respectively.
AGN 195183 is a potent and selective agonist of RARα (Kd=3 nM) with improved binding selectivity relative to AGN 193836; no activity on RARβ/γ.
AGN 196996 is a potent and selective RARα antagonist with Ki value of 2 nM; little binding affinity for RARβ(Ki=1087 nM) and RARγ(Ki=8523 nM).

Etretinate is a second-generation retinoid to treat severe psoriasis; has been replaced by acitretin, a safer metabolite of etretinate.
D-Arabinopyranose is a rare aldo-pentose that serves as a precursor to D-arabinose in its open-chain form. 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.
Synonyms: CD 271 sodium salt
Adapalene sodium salt is a potent retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist, demonstrating significant binding affinity with AC50 values of 2.3 nM for RARβ, 9.3 nM for RARγ, and 22 nM for RARα. This third-generation synthetic retinoid is primarily utilized in acne research but has also been identified to inhibit the enzymatic activity of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 1 (GOT1) in a non-competitive manner. Additionally, adapalene sodium salt exhibits anti-tumor activity, making it valuable for diverse biological studies.
