Description: Retinoic acid analog; RARα agonist
Chemical Name: 4-[(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carboxamido]benzoic acid
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for AM 580
AM 580 is an analog of retinoic acid that acts as a selective RARα agonist (EC50 values are 0.3, 8.6 and 13 nM for RARα, RARβ and RARγ respectively). Significantly induces IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 and inhibits IL-12 and IFNγ synthesis, and induces cell differentiation with over 7 times the activity of retinoic acid in vitro.
AM 580 synthesized to Ancillary Material Grade also available.
