Abstract
Retinolds have been defined as a class of compounds consisting of four isoprenoid units (H2C=C(CH3)-CH=CH2) joined in a head-to-tail manner. The retinoid molecule can be divided into three parts: a trimethylated cyclohexene ring, a conjugated tetraene side chain, and a polar carbon-oxygen functional group. Retinol (I), retinaldehyde (II), and retinoic acid (III), as well as their derivatives whose structures are shown in Structure 1 (), are included by this definition.
