Beschreibung

13-cisRetinoic acid methyl ester is a synthetic retinoid. It is used in the treatment of skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, and has been shown to be effective against some types of cancer. 13-cisRetinoic acid methyl ester is a metabolite of retinoic acid, which can be synthesized in the body from vitamin A. The compound can exist as two different isomers: 13-cis-retinoic acid methyl ester and all-trans retinoic acid methyl ester. Retinoic acid isomerizes to its sulfoxide form when it reacts with oxygen, producing peroxides that are potentially carcinogenic. 13-cisRetinoic acid methyl ester has been shown to reduce the production of these compounds by reacting with them before they can react with oxygen.
