Desmethylene oxo-bexarotene methyl ester(CAT: R056371) is a synthetic retinoid analog structurally related to bexarotene, featuring a modified aromatic framework lacking the exocyclic methylene group and incorporating a carbonyl functionality, with the carboxylic acid moiety protected as a methyl ester. This structural modification can influence lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and receptor-binding characteristics, making it valuable in retinoid receptor (RXR and RAR) research. In medicinal chemistry, it serves as a probe compound for studying structure–activity relationships, retinoid signaling pathways, and anticancer potential.
