Preferred Label : Peretinoin;
NCIt synonyms : (2E,4E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadeca-2,4,6,10,14-Pentaenoic Acid;
NCIt definition : An orally available, acyclic retinoid with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive
activities. Peretinoin binds to and activates nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR),
which in turn recruit coactivator proteins and promote, with other transcriptional
complexes, the transcription of target genes. As a result, this agent may modulate
the expression of genes involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation,
and apoptosis of both normal and tumor cells.;
