A series of conformationally restricted retinoids was synthesized and screened in two assays used to measure the ability of retinoids to control cell differentiation, namely, the reversal of keratinization in tracheal organ culture from vitamin A deficient hamsters and the inhibition of the induction of mouse epidermal ornithine decarboxylase by a tumor promoter. These compounds had bonds corresponding to selected bonds of the E-tetraene chainof retinoic acid (1) held in a planar cisoid conformation by inclusion in an aromatic ring. The meta-substituted analogue 3 of 4-[(E)-2-methyl-4-(2, 6, 6-trimethylcyclohexenyl)-l, 3-butadienyl] benzoic acid (2) was far less active than 2 in both assays. In contrast, the vinyl homologue of 2 (4) and the 7, 8-dihydro and 7, 8-methano analogues (5 and 6) had activity comparable to that of 2. Analogues of 4-[(E)-2-(l, l, 4, 4-tetramethyl-l, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-6-naphthyl) propenyl] benzoic acid (7) were also screened. Replacementof the tetrahydronaphthalene ring of 7 by a benzonorbornenyl group (9) significantly reduced activity, as did removal of the vinylic methyl group from 9 (10). Replacement of the propenyl group of 9 by a cyclopropane ring (12) also reduced activity. Replacement of the tetrahydronaphthalene ring of 7 by 4, 4-dimethyl-3, 4-dihydro-2íf-l-benzopyran and-benzothiopyran rings (13 and 14) also decreased activity. Inclusion of the 7, 9 double bond system of 1 in an aromatic ring (15 and 16) reduced activity, whereas inclusion of the 5, 7 double bond system in an aromatic ring enhanced activity (7 and 19). Inclusion of the 11, 13 and 9, 11, 13 double bond systems in aromatic rings (2 and 18) also reduced activity below that of 1. Retinoic acid, 7, 13, 14, and 19 inhibited papilloma tumor formation inmice. Toxicity testing indicated that 7 was more toxic than 1, 13, 14, and19, 19 was more toxic than 1, and 13 and 14 were less toxic than 1.Because of their ability to regulate epithelial cell dif-ferentiation, the retinoids, such as retinoic acid, have therapeutic potential for the treatment of proliferative skin diseases, such as acne and psoriasis, and the chemopre-vention of cancer. 1 Retinoic acid (1) is usually depicted in a conformation in which the E double bonds of the tetraene side chain are transoid, as shown in Table I. However, this conformation is not necessarily the one that 1 assumes in controlling differentiation. As part of a program to synthesize more active retinoids and study their structure-activity relationships, we have synthesized a series of conformationally restricted retinoids, the structures of which are shown in Table I. In these com-pounds certain bonds corresponding to those of thetet-raene chain of 1 are held in a cisoid conformation by inclusion in an aromatic ring. In certain cases, the conformation is distorted by replacement of an E double bond by a cyclopropane ring. These compounds were screened in two bioassays used to measure the ability of retinoids to regulate cell differentiation, namely,(1) the reversal of keratinization in hamster tracheal organ culture (TOC assay) and (2) the inhibition of the induction of ornithine decarboxylase in mouse epidermis by the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (ODC assay). 2, 3 We now report the syntheses and biological testing results for these compounds.
