Tocopheryl retinoate (tocoretinate) is an alpha-tocopherol ester of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and safely used to treat skin ulcers. Tocopheryl retinoate stimulates the formation of granulation tissue in the ulcer, and enhances the migration of guinea pig macrophages and stimulates the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts. It is usually used to treat pressure ulcer (bedsore) and skin ulcer (burn ulcer, diabetic ulcer, leg ulcer). Topical application of tocoretinate reduced the clinical symptoms of lichen amyloidosis and macular amyloidosis, and normalized disturbed epidermal differentiation.
