Structure-activity relationships of methylene or terminal side chain modified retinoids on the differentiation and cell death signaling in NB4 promyelocytic leukemia cells

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 16;14(16):4257-61. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.06.002.

Abstract

New structure-activity relationships of a series of methylene or side chain modified retinoids on NB4 acute promyelocytic leukemia cells are investigated. The differentiation- and apoptosis-inducing potential of these compounds is analyzed on the basis of their selective retinoic acid receptor binding profile.
