Biochem/physiol Actions

Peretinoin is an orally active synthetic acyclic retinoid (ACR) whose in vivo anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) efficacy is attributed to its upregulatory activity toward retinoid nuclear receptors (RARbeta & RXRalpha), as well as negative regulation against sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) expression and, thereby, sphingosine metabolic pathway. Peretinoin inhibits the replication of hepatitis B & C viruses in cultures (HBV & HCV EC50 = 9-25 μM) and shows in vivo efficacy in rodent models of hepatocarcinogenesis among rats (10, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day p.o.) and mice (0.03% or 0.06% in diet) subjected to chronic inflammation induction by diethylnitrosamine (DEN).

We investigated the preventive effects of a synthetic acyclic retinoid, NIK-333, on the early and late events of hepatocarcinogenesis in male F344 rats treated with 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'-MeDAB). NIK-333 was administered once a day on consecutive days at a dose of

HuH-7 cells, a human hepatoma-derived cell line, underwent apoptosis in response to all-trans 3, 7, 11, 15-tetramethyl- 2, 4, 6, 10, 14-hexadecapentaenoic acid, or acyclic retinoid. The retinoid-induced apoptosis was verified by a characteristic step-wise fragmentation of genomic DNA and

All-trans-3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2,4,6,10,14-hexadecapentaenoic acid (designated "acyclic retinoid") induced upregulation of the albumin gene expression at its transcriptional level, whereas all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) induced downregulation of the expression in both PLC/PRF/5 and HuH7 human hepatoma cell lines. These up- and down regulations of

Acyclic retinoid (ACR) is a promising drug under clinical trials for preventing recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. The objective of this study was to gain insights into molecular basis of the antitumorigenic action of ACR from a metabolic point of view.
Kazuhisa Murai et al.
International journal of molecular sciences, 19(2) (2018-01-24)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently develops from hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. We previously reported that peretinoin, an acyclic retinoid, inhibits HCV replication. This study aimed to examine the influence of peretinoin on the HBV lifecycle.
