Description

AM-580 (102121-60-8) is a retinoic acid analog acting as a RARα agonist (Kd = 8 nM).1 Induces or blocks differentiation depending on cell type and environment.2,3 In combination with CHIR-99021 it induces differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into intermediate mesoderm (80% induction rate in 5 days) capable of forming kidney structures.4 AM-580 exhibits anti-angiogenic activity in vivo, and induces differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells.5,6

Uses

Retinoid derivative used for gene expression studies of leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (PHL-RAR) cell line differentiation. AM 580 inhibits tumor proliferation by reducing the level of RARγ and activates RAR β. This receptor increases the expression of disintegrin and metalloprotease.

Definition

ChEBI: An amidobenzoic acid obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)benzoic acid with the anilino group of 4-aminobenzoic acid. A selective RARalpha agonist.

General Description

AM580 is a retinobenzoic derivative and a RAR-α (retinoic acid receptor-α) agonist. It stimulates the maturation of granulocytes in NB4 promyelocytic leukemia cell line and APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia) blasts. AM580 suppresses endometrial cancer cell proliferation.

Biological Activity

An analog of retinoic acid that acts as a selective RAR α agonist (EC 50 values are 0.3, 8.6 and 13 nM for RAR α , RAR β and RAR γ respectively). Significantly induces IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 and inhibits IL-12 and IFN γ synthesis, and induces cell differentiation with over 7 times the activity of retinoic acid in vitro .

Synthesis

To a 25 mL round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser tube was added methyl 4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethylnaphthalene-2-carboxamido)benzoate (0.200 g, 0.547 mmol), methanol (10 mL) and potassium hydroxide (0.122 g, 2.18 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux conditions for 16 h and subsequently evaporated to dryness. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and deionized water and adjusted to acidic pH with 6 N hydrochloric acid. the organic layer was separated, washed sequentially with deionized water, saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation to afford 4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethylnaphthalene-2-carboxamido)benzoic acid as a white solid (0.151 g, 78% yield ). Molecular weight: 351.43; melting point: 265°C; Rf value: 0.3 (ethyl acetate:cyclohexane=50:50).1H NMR (CDCl3, δ): 1.32 (s, 6H, 2×CH3), 1.34 (s, 6H, 2×CH3), 1.73 (s, 4H, 2×CH2), 7.43 (d, 1H, J=8.53 Hz. ArH), 7.57 (d, 1H, J=8.25 Hz, J=1.98 Hz, ArH), 7.78 (d, 2H, J=8.74 Hz, ArH), 7.88 (d, 1H, J=8.74 Hz, ArH), 7.92 (s, 1H, NH), 8.13 (d, 2H, J=8.70 Hz, ArH), and no observed carboxylic acid proton signal.MS-ESI: m/z (relative intensity) 352.1 ([M+H]+, 100).HPLC analysis (Method A, detection wavelength 254 nm): retention time = 6.66 min, peak area = 96.3%.
