Application

Ro 41-5253 has been used as a retinoic acid receptor-α (RAR-α) antagonist to study its effect on hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ro 41-5253 ( GR110) is a potent (IC50 = 16 nM) and selective retinoic acid receptor-α (RARα) antagonist, with some recently discovered activity as a PPARγ agonist at 50-fold higher concentrations (EC50 = 810 nM).
Ro 41-5253 ( GR110) is a potent (IC50 = 16 nM) and selective retinoic acid receptor-α (RARα) antagonist, with some recently discovered activity as a PPARγ agonist at 50-fold higher concentrations (EC50 = 810 nM). Ro 41-5253 inhibited differentiation and prevented the loss of human HSCs that otherwise occurs in short-term culture.
Ro 41-5253 is a member of an interesting class of retinoids with anti-proliferative properties. It can repress the activity of retinoic acid receptor-α (RAR-α) in rat embryonic gonad culture. Ro 41-5253 can decrease the expression stimulated by the retinoic acid gene 8 (STRA8) gene. It can prevent multiplication and stimulate apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines.
