Abstract
Glucuronide metabolites of retinoic acid (RA) and its analogs have been suggested to be active cancer chemopreventive/chemotherapeutic metabolites of the parent molecule. The glucuronide of RA is relatively unstable, thus we prepared N-linked glycoside analogs of RA that are nonsubstrates for β-glucuronidase in efforts to improve efficacy. The synthesis and biological activity of the analogs are reported.
