Abstract

Analogues of retinoic acid that have their major modifications in the 5, 6 double bond and 4- methylene group regions of the Bcyclogeranylidene ring have hen synthesid 88 potential agents for the tzeatment and prevention of epithelial cancer. Thw modifications were intended to duce retinoid toxicity by lowering the effective treatment dose becaw the major metabolic deactivation pathway would be inhibited. Ethyl (E)-3, 7-dimethyl-9-(ezo-2- ...
