Abstract
Adarotene belongs to the so-called class of atypical retinoids. The presence of the phenolic hydroxyl group on Adarotene structure allows a rapid O-glucuronidation as a major mechanism of elimination of the drug, favoring a fast excretion of its glucuronide metabolite in the urines. A series of ether, carbamate and ester derivatives was synthesized. All of them were studied and evaluated for their stability at different pH. The cytotoxic activity in vitro on NCI-H460 non-small cell lung carcinoma and A2780 ovarian tumor cell lines was also tested. A potential back-up of Adarotene has been selected to be evaluated in tumor models.
