  • HY-125904
    4-Hydroxyretinoic acid
    		Activator
    4-Hydroxyretinoic acid (4-HRA) is a naturally occurring retinoid derivative with diverse biological effects. 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid is formed from retinol catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 isozyme(s), and is mainly metabolized by the liver in the body. 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid also serves as the substrate for human liver microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(s) and recombinant UGT2B7. 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid regulates gene expression and cell differentiation via binding to nuclear receptor RAR (Retinoic Acid Receptor), and activates RARs and RXR-alpha, to induce cancer cell apoptosis. In addition, 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid is also involved in various physiological processes such as immune regulation, neuroprotection, and anti-oxidation.
  • HY-N2992
    16α-Hydroxytrametenolic acid
    		Activator ≥98.0%
    16α-Hydroxytrametenolic acid, a natural triterpene, is a potential retinoid X receptor (RXR) selective agonist.
  • HY-121671
    TBTC
    		Activator
    TBTC is a selective agonist with the activity of improving behavioral deficits in Alzheimer's disease model mice. TBTC can effectively activate the heterodimerization of RXRα with LXRα or PPARγ. TBTC stimulates the expression of apoE, ABCA1, and ABCG1 genes and reduces Aβ content in cells and animal models.
