Abstract:
Isotopically-labeled retinoids, methods for their synthesis, and their use in the discovery of Retinoid X Receptor ligands are provided. Use of the isotopically-labeled retinoids in mass spectral metabolism studies are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of modulating retinoid X receptor activity in a mammal, novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating retinoid X receptor activity in a mammal, and methods of making compounds that modulate retinoid X receptor activity in a mammal. The compounds are represented by Structural Formula 1: The compounds of Structural Formual 1 are efficacious insulin sensitizers and do not have the undesirable side effects of increasing triglycerides or suppressing the thyroid hormone axis.
Abstract:

Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions incorporating such dimer-selective RXR modulator compounds and methods for their therapeutic use.
Abstract:
Novel trienoic retinoid compounds having activity for retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions incorporating such compounds and methods for their use.
Abstract:
Methods for the synthesis of 9-cis monotritium-labeled retinoids, and their use in the discovery of Retinoid X Receptor ligands are provided. In addition, 9-cis monotritium-labeled retinoids, as well as novel intermediates and tritium-labeled intermediates formed during the synthesis of 9-cis monotritium-labeled retinoids are also provided.
Abstract:
Compounds, compositions, and method for modulating processes mediated by Retinoid X Receptors using retinoid-like compounds which have activity selective for members of the subclass of Retinoid X Receptors (RXRs), in preference to members of the subclass of Retinoic Acid Receptors (RARs). Examples of such compounds are bicyclic benzyl, pyridinyl, thiophene, furanyl, and pyrrole derivatives. The disclosed methods employ compounds for modulating processes selectively mediated by Retinoid X Receptors.
