sp2-bridged diaryl retinoids: effects of bridge-region substitution on retinoid X receptor (RXR) selectivity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Jun 19;10(12):1307-10. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00243-2.

Abstract

RXR class selectivity and RXR transcriptional activation activity compared to those for the retinoic acid receptor subtypes were enhanced on the 4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenylethenyl)be nzoic acid scaffold and its 3-methyl analogue by replacing their 1,1-ethenyl bridge by a 1,1-(2-methylpropenyl) or cyclopropylidenylmethylene group.
