Tretinoin is a medication used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as photodamaged skin, acne, etc. It is used as an anti-aging product and also as an oral treatment for leukemia.

Application

This European Pharmacopoeia reference standard is intended for use only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

all−trans−Retinoic acid (ATRA) is a ligand for both the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and the retinoid X receptor (RXR). The bound RAR and RXR act as transcription factors that regulate the growth and differentiation of both normal and malignant cells. Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) catalyze the 4-hydroxylation of ATRA. Retinoic acid primes embryonic stem cells to become neurons.

Packaging

The product is delivered as supplied by the issuing Pharmacopoeia. For the current unit quantity, please visit the EDQM reference substance catalogue.
