title: Design and synthesis of benzofused heterocyclic RXR modulators.
abstract: Benzofused heterocyclic analogs of the RXR selective modulator 1 (LG101506) were synthesized, and tested for their ability to bind RXRalpha and activate RXR homo and heterodimers. Potency and efficacy were observed to be dependent upon the choice of heterocycle as well as the sidechain employed.
