Physiological ageing due to the passing of time and prolonged exposure harmful sun rays generate wrinkles reduce skin elasticity. These visible clinical signs can be prevented or reversed by known strategies, such as daily use cosmetic products with antioxidant combinations retinoids. A new dermocosmetic formulation enriched a complex retinoids, called RETINOIDS SERUM, was investigated through ...

Retinoids are synthetic and natural analogues of vitamin A that have various effects on cellular differentiation, cellular proliferation, immune system, and embryonic development. The present study reviews the history of systemic retinoids in medicine, the structure of syn

BACKGROUND Retinoic acid analogues, called retinoids, have shown promise in clinical trials in preventing breast and ovarian cancers. Classic retinoids bind to retinoic acid receptors, which regulate cell growth. Some novel retinoids, such as fenretinide, i.e., N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR), induce apoptosis through retinoic acid receptor-independent mechanisms; however, they appear to ...

Hereditary ichthyosis is a group of generalized hereditary keratinization disorders characterized by general dryness the skin, peeling, hyperkeratosis and often erythroderma. These manifestations are caused mutations in genes mainly involved formation skin barrier. divided into syndromic non-syndromic. Nonsyndromic ichthyoses include: vulgar ichthyosis, recessive X-linked autosomal congenital k...

Vitamin A (retinol) is a micronutrient critical for cell proliferation and differentiation. In adults, vitamin A and metabolites such as retinoic acid (RA) play major roles in vision, immune and brain functions, and tissue remodelling and metabolism. This review presents the physiological interactions of retinoids and endocrine tissues and hormonal systems. Two endocrine systems have been parti...

many properties of chemicals depend on their stereochemistry. among these, the effects of stereoisomerism on percutaneous absorption of drugs are not well studied. we have previously shown that permeation of tretinoin and isotretinoin (two geometric isomers) through hydrophilic enhancers-treated rat skin is stereoselective. as, depending on their lipophilicity, penetration enhancers can change ...

Using an in vitro lung carcinogenesis model consisting of normal, premalignant, and malignant human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells, we analyzed the growth inhibitory effects of 26 novel synthetic retinoic acid receptor (RAR)- and retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective retinoids. RAR-selective retinoids such as CD271, CD437, CD2325, and SR11364 showed potent activity in inhibiting the growth of e...

Retinoids (vitamin A and its metabolites) are potent natural regulators of cellular activities, including cell growth and differentiation, and they mediate many essential regulatory functions, especially in the skin. Biologically active retinoids exert their effects by binding to nuclear retinoic acid receptors and retinoid-X-receptors. The group of pharmacologically used retinoids include natu...
