Conditions:
Etretinate (trade name Tegison) is a medication developed by Hoffmann–La Roche that was approved by the FDA in 1986 to treat severe psoriasis. It is a second-generation retinoid. It was subsequently removed from the Canadian market in 1996 and the United States market in 1998 due to the high risk of birth defects. Etretinate remains on the market in Japan as Tigason. The mechanism of action of etretinate is still incompletely understood although, like retinoic acid, it is thought to interfere with the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes. Etretinate activates retinoid receptors, causing an induction of cell differentiation, inhibition of cell proliferation, and inhibition of tissue infiltration by inflammatory cells.

CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Acitretin is all-Trans-9-(4-methoxy-2, 3, 6¬ trimethylphenyl)-three, 7-dimethyl-2, 4, 6, 8-nonatetraenoic acid. It is a metabolite of exterminate and is related to both retinoic acid and retinol (vitamin A). It is taken orally, and is typically used for psoriasis. The mechanism of action of is unknown. However it is believed to work by targeting specific receptors (retinoid receptors such as RXR and RAR) in the skin, which help normalize the growth cycle of skin cells. Studies on nuclear retinoic acid receptors have shown that acitretin activates all 3 receptor subtypes (RAR-alpha, -beta, and -gamma) without measurable receptor binding; this paradox remains unexplained.
