Product Overview:
Tazarotene is a retinoid prodrug of tazarotenic acid (Item No. 21367).{33614} It is metabolized by esterases in vivo to its active free acid form. Tazarotene (1 μM) inhibits proliferation of and collagen synthesis by human dermal fibroblasts in vitro.{41677} It also downregulates markers of keratinocyte differentiation, keratinocyte proliferation, and inflammation and upregulates tazarotene-induced gene 1 (TIG1) and TIG2 in patient-derived psoriatic lesion samples following topical administration.{41678} Tazarotene (0.1% per day, topical) induces complete reduction in skin utricle diameter in the Rhino mouse, which is a model used to test retinoid activity because its skin contains keratinized pilosebaceous structures.{41679} It also decreases basal cell carcinoma number and size in a Ptch1+/- mouse model of ultraviolet- or ionizing radiation-induced skin cancer when administered topically at a dose of 0.1% per day.{41680} Formulations containing tazarotene have been used in the treatment of psoriasis, acne, and sun-damaged skin.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
