Adapalene, a synthetic retinoid, is a new drug proposed for the treatment of acne patients. Studies on the in vitro and in vivo pharmacology of adapalene have shown that it is very active on cell and tissue proliferation and differentiation. Furthermore, adapalene has anti‐inflammatory potential as determined by its anti‐AP1 activity. Adapalene interacts selectively with the nuclear receptors RARβ and RARγ, and its activity on proliferation and differentiation can be blocked by a RAR…

It is shown that various retinoids differ, not only in terms of potency, i.e. the dilution at which they are active, but also in Terms of the amount of PA that they induce.

The protein is homologous to the receptors for steroid hormones, thyroid hormones and vitamin D3, and appears to be a retinoic acid-inducible {Tans-acting enhancer factor, suggesting that the molecular mechanisms of the effect of vitamin A (vitamin A) on embryonic development, differentiation and tumour cell growth are similar to those described for other members of this nuclear receptor family.
