Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
1.75mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 35 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.862mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 17.24 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Bexarotene is a retinoid specifically selective for retinoid X receptors, used as an oral antineoplastic agent in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Targets
RXR [1]
In vitro Bexarotene treatment at 1 mM and 10 mM for 96 h increases the number of cells with sub-G1 populations and annexin V binding in a dose-dependent manner compared with vehicle controls (DMSO) in well-established CTCL cell lines (MJ, Hut78, and HH), respectively. Bexarotene treatment suppresses the expression of retinoid X receptor alpha and retinoic acid receptor alpha proteins in all three lines compared with untreated controls. Bexarotene treatment decreases the protein levels of survivin, activates caspase-3, and cleaved poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerase, but has no obvious effect on expression of Fas/Fas ligand and bcl-2 proteins in all three CTCL lines. [1] Bexarotene induces a loss of viability and more pronounced inhibition of clonogenic proliferation in HH and Hut-78 cells, whereas the MJ line exhibits resistance. Bexarotene upregulates and activates Bax in sensitive lines, although not enough to signal significant apoptosis. Bexarotene signals both G(1) and G(2)/M arrest by the modulation of critical checkpoint proteins. Bexarotene activates p53 by phosphorylation at Ser15, which influences the binding of p53 to promoters for cell cycle arrest, induces p73 upregulation, and, in concordance, also modulates some p53/p73 downstream target genes, such as p21, Bax, survivin and cdc2. [2]
In vivo Bexarotene significantly prevents ER-negative mammary tumorigenesis with less toxicity than naturally occurring retinoids in animal models. Bexarotene inhibits the development of preinvasive mammary lesions such as hyperplasias and carcinoma-in-situ in MMTV-erbB2 mice. [3]
