title: Retinoic acid receptor beta,gamma-selective ligands: synthesis and biological activity of 6-substituted 2-naphthoic acid retinoids.
abstract: In search for retinoic acid receptor (RAR) selective ligands, a series of 6-substituted 2-naphthoic acid retinoids were synthesized and evaluated in vitro in a transactivation assay and a competition binding assay for all RARs. These derivatives, in general, showed RAR beta,gamma selectivity. Among these naphthoic acids, oxime derivative 12 was identified as a potent RAR gamma-selective retinoid, while olefinic derivative 11 was found to be comparable to retinoic acid and slightly RAR beta,gamma selective. For the bioassays, a general correlation was observed between the binding affinity of the ligand to the receptors and the potency of the compounds in the transactivation assay. The structure-activity relationship of these naphthoic acids will be discussed.
