Abstract

A series of novel cyclopropanyl methyl hexadienoic acid retinoids was designed and prepared. These compounds exhibited either selective activity as RXR agonists or pan-agonists on one or more of each of the RAR and RXR isoforms. The most potent pan-agonist 5a (RAR's EC(50)=17-59 nM; RXR's EC(50)=6-14 nM) showed good antiproliferative properties in the in vitro cancer cell lines, ME 180 and RPMI 8226.
