VTP-194204 (NRX 194204, IRX4204) is a second-generation retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist that has no cross-reactivity with retinoic acid receptors, farnesoid X receptor, liver X receptors or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPARγ. Rexinoid NRX 194204 selectively binds to and activates RXRs. Because RXRs can form heterodimers with several nuclear receptors (NRs), RXR activation by this agent may result in a broad range of gene expression depending on the effector DNA response elements activated. Rexinoid NRX 194204 may inhibit the tumour-necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated release of nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin 6 (IL6) and may inhibit tumour cell proliferation. This agent appears to be less toxic than RAR-selective ligands. VTP-194204 (IRX-4204) is in phase II clinical trials by Io Therapeutics for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is also in preclinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Brain bioavailability studies demonstrate that VTP-194204 (IRX4204) can cross the blood brain barrier and reach the brain at nM concentration. IRX4204 represents a novel, potent and selective pharmacological means to activate cellular RXR-Nurr1 signaling and promote SN DA neuron survival in PD prevention and/or treatment.
