Bexarotene

• CAS Number: 153559-49-0
• UNSPSC Description: Bexarotene (LGD1069) is a high-affinity and selective retinoid X receptors (RXR) agonist with EC50s of 33, 24, 25 nM for RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ, respectively. Bexarotene shows limited affinity for RAR receptors (EC50 >10000 nM)[1][2][3]. Bexarotene can be used for the research of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
