N-ethylretinamide

N-Ethylretinamide is a synthetic derivative of all-trans-retinoic acid (vitamin A acid), specifically the ethylamide of all-trans β-retinoic acid. It has a molecular formula of C22H33NO and a molecular weight of approximately 327.5 g/mol. The compound is structurally related to retinoids, which are known for their roles in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis through modulation of nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs). While detailed pharmacological data or clinical use information for N-Ethylretinamide itself is limited in the available sources, its structure suggests it may act as a modulator of retinoid signaling pathways[8][10]. No approved therapeutic indications or marketed products containing this compound were identified.
