Highly potent and specific RXR agonist (Kd values 0.4 nM, 3.6 nM, and 3.8 nM for RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ, respectively) devoid of any RAR activity (Kd values >30 µM for RARα, RARβ, and RARγ). NRX 194204 blocked the ability of lipopolysaccharide and TNFα to induce the release of nitric oxide and IL6 and the degradation of IKBα in RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells. NRX194204 prevents carcinogenesis in both the lung and mammary gland, and enhances the ability of ligands for PPARs or cytotoxic drugs, including cisplatin and 5-flurouracil, to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in breast and pancreatic cancer cell lines.
