Accutane Chemical Information

isotretinoin - A naturally-occurring retinoic acid with potential antineoplastic activity and teratogenic properties. Isotretinoin binds to and activates nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR), thereby regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. This agent also exhibits immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory responses and inhibits ornithine decarboxylase, thereby decreasing polyamine synthesis and keratinization. (NCI04)
