Description

Mofarotene is an analog of retinoic acid patented by a Swiss multinational healthcare company Hoffmann-La Roche as neoplasm inhibitors and agent for treating dermatoses. Like other retinoic acid agents, mofarotene binds to and activates retinoic acid receptors (RARs), thereby altering the expression of certain genes leading to cell differentiation and decreased cell proliferation in susceptible cells. Mofarotene has demonstrated considerable antitumor activity in a number of cancer cell lines. Mofarotene in combination with cisplatin and etoposide was studied in phase I clinical trials but further development was discontinued.
