Biological Activity
| Description | Tazarotene (AGN190168) is a retinoid prodrug of tazarotenic acid, which is a RAR agonist, used to treat psoriasis, acne, and sun damaged skin. | |

|
| In vitro | Tazarotene causes ERK activation, RB tumor suppressor protein hypophosphorylation, G0 arrest, and myeloid differentiation in HL-60 human myeloblastic leukemia cells. Tazarotene could propel either early or late portions of the period leading to differentiation and G0 arrest and is interchangeable with an RARalpha-selective ligand. [1] Tazarotene therapy regulates gene transcription via interaction with specific nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs), thereby modulating the three key pathogenic factors in psoriasis. [2] Tazarotene inhibits the proliferation of fibroblasts and synthesis of DNA and collagen. [3] Tazarotene down-regulates markers of keratinocyte differentiation, keratinocyte proliferation, and inflammation. Tazarotene also up-regulates three novel genes TIG-1 (tazarotene-induced gene-1), TIG-2, and TIG-3, which may mediate an antiproliferative effect. [4] Tazarotene causes growth suppression in retinoid-responsive breast cancer cell lines by up-regulating TIG3. [5] | |
| In vivo | Tazarotene treatment reduces the number and size of microscopic basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in UV-treated Ptch1+/− mice. Tazarotene treatment reduces the number and size of microscopic basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in ionizing radiation-treated Ptch1+/− mice. [5] |
