Adapalene (sodium salt)

Adapalene (CD271) sodium salt, a third-generation synthetic retinoid, is widely used for the research of acne. Adapalene sodium salt is a potent RAR agonist, with AC50s of 2.3 nM, 9.3 nM, and 22 nM for RARβ, RARγ, RARα, respectively. Adapalene sodium salt also inhibits the enzymatic activity of GOT1 in a non-competitive manner. Adapalene sodium salt exhibits anti-tumor activity[1][2][3].
