Biochem/physiol Actions

Peretinoin is an orally active synthetic acyclic retinoid (ACR) whose in vivo anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) efficacy is attributed to its upregulatory activity toward retinoid nuclear receptors (RARbeta & RXRalpha), as well as negative regulation against sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) expression and, thereby, sphingosine metabolic pathway. Peretinoin inhibits the replication of hepatitis B & C viruses in cultures (HBV & HCV EC50 = 9-25 μM) and shows in vivo efficacy in rodent models of hepatocarcinogenesis among rats (10, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day p.o.) and mice (0.03% or 0.06% in diet) subjected to chronic inflammation induction by diethylnitrosamine (DEN).

Acyclic retinoid (ACR) is a promising drug under clinical trials for preventing recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. The objective of this study was to gain insights into molecular basis of the antitumorigenic action of ACR from a metabolic point of view.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly lethal cancer that has a high rate of recurrence, in part because of cancer stem cell (CSC)-dependent field cancerization. Acyclic retinoid (ACR) is a synthetic vitamin A-like compound capable of preventing the recurrence of

Sphingosine-1-phospate is a potent bioactive lipid metabolite that regulates cancer progression. Because sphingosine kinase 1 and sphingosine kinase 2 (SPHK 1/2) are both essential for sphingosine-1-phospate production, they could be a therapeutic target in various cancers. Peretinoin, an acyclic retinoid

We investigated the preventive effects of a synthetic acyclic retinoid, NIK-333, on the early and late events of hepatocarcinogenesis in male F344 rats treated with 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'-MeDAB). NIK-333 was administered once a day on consecutive days at a dose of

Carcinogenesis, 25(6), 979-985 (2004-01-27)
The present study was designed to determine the effects of NIK-333, a synthetic acyclic retinoid, on N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in male F344 rats. Animals were given DEN dissolved in drinking water at a concentration of 40 p.p.m. for 5 weeks
