Abstract

NMR analyses was completed for these heterocycles. The biological activity of these heteroarotinoids was assayed by either the suppression of the 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) induced synthesis of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in mouse skin or the induction of differentiation of human (HL-60) promyelocytic cells. In the ODC assay, systems la-c exhibited strong activity (within 10% of or less than the control) whereas alcohols 2b ...
