Description Derivatives of All-trans- nd 13-cis P~tinoic ~cid and thods for PreFaring ~e Field o~ Lh~ Invention . . _ . .
Ihe presen-t invention relates to ncvel derivatives of al7-trans- and 13~cis-retinoic acid.
Backgrou~d o~ the Inv nt on In 1967 r 13~cis-retino.ic acid was iæ n-tified in rat tissue ex*rzcts and it was postulated to be a natural me~bolite of all-trans-retinoic acid.l Ihe 13-cis-retinoic aci~ has ~een found to be at least as efiective as all-trars-retinoic acid in promo-ting vitamin A-~ependent growth as well as in controlling epithelial cell differentia-tion.
Recent ~rk s~ggests that 13-c retinoic acid is not solely '~ 15 pro~u oed as c~n artifact of isolation but ~hat all trans-re inoic acid is iscmerized in mammals to scme extent to 13-cis-retLnoic acid.2 The utlity of 13-cis-retinoic acid in treatiny den~atological conditions, i~s t~Imor inhibitory prcperties, a~ its reduced toxicity relat_ve to all-trans-re, ~oic acid are kncwn.
Disclo~ure of the Invention .
