LGD 1550 Definition
An orally-active synthetic aromatic retinoic acid agent with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. LGD 1550 selectively binds to all three retinoic acid receptors (RAR-alpha, RAR-beta, and RAR-gamma), resulting in alterations in the expression of genes responsible for cell differentiation and proliferation. This agent also acts as an inhibitor of activator protein 1 (AP-1), a protein that mediates trophic responses and malignant transformation. (NCI04)
