Methyl retinoate

Description:
Methyl retinoate is an ester derivative of retinoic acid, specifically a methyl ester of all-trans-retinoic acid. It is characterized by its role in biological systems, particularly in the regulation of gene expression and cellular differentiation. Methyl retinoate is known for its potent activity in promoting skin health, making it a common ingredient in cosmetic formulations aimed at anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. The compound exhibits a yellow to orange color and is typically soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure includes a long hydrocarbon chain with multiple conjugated double bonds, contributing to its biological activity and stability under certain conditions. Methyl retinoate can undergo isomerization and oxidation, which may affect its efficacy and stability. Due to its biological activity, it is essential to handle this compound with care, as it can cause skin irritation or sensitivity in some individuals. Overall, methyl retinoate is a significant compound in both pharmacology and cosmetic science.
