Description: Synthetic retinoid; antiproliferative and antioxidant
Alternative Names: 4-HPR
Chemical Name: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)retinamide
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Fenretinide
Fenretinide is a synthetic retinoid agonist. Antiproliferative, antioxidant and anticancer agent with a long half-life in vivo. Apoptotic effects appear to be mediated by a mechanism distinct from that of 'classical' retinoids.
