Abstract:
A method of treating cancer is disclosed comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment a RXR agonist at a level below the RAR activating threshold and at or above the RXR effective dose.
Abstract:
Cell growth is inhibited and/or cell death is induced in a cell by administering an RXR agonist and an inhibitor of casein kinase 1α. A cell or a tissue can be screened for enhanced susceptibility to cell death or interference with cell growth. Conditions characterized by uncontrolled cell growth or proliferation, such as a cancer, can be treated with inhibitors of casein kinase 1α.
Abstract:
Compounds of the formula where the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are capable of reducing serum glucose levels in diabetic mammals without the undesirable side effect of reducing serum thyroxine levels.
Abstract:
Compounds having Formula 4 wherein the symbols have the meaning defined in the specification are inhibitors of the cytochrome P450RAI (retinoic acid inducible) enzyme, and are used for treating diseases responsive to treatment by retinoids.

Abstract:
Compounds of the formula where the symbols have the meaning defined in the specification, have retinoid, retinoid antagonist and/or retinoid inverse-agonist-like biological activity.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for inhibiting or preventing spermatogenesis in a male mammal. Also disclosed are compounds and formulations for use in such methods.
Abstract:
Compounds of Formula 1 and of Formula 2 where the symbols have the meaning defined in the specification, have retinoid, retinoid antagonist or retinoid negative hormone like biological activity.
Abstract:
Silicone-containing organic compounds useful as modulators of mammalian nuclear hormone receptors, particularly the retinoid receptors and the farnesoid receptors.
