Conformationally Defined Retinoic Acid Analogues. 4. Potential New Agents for Acute Promyelocytic and Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemias

Abstract excerpt

We recently synthesized several conformationally constrained retinoic acid (RA) analogues [8-(2'-cyclohexen-1'-ylidene)-3, 7-dimethyl-2,4,6-octatrienoic acids with different alkyl substituents at 2' (R1) and 3' (R2) positions on the cyclohexene ring] (Muccio et al. J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 3625) as cancer chemopreventive agents. UAB8 (R1 = Et; R2 = iPr), which contains sufficient steric bulk at the terminal end of...
