Résumé

Herein, we report the rational design, synthesis and biological evaluation of conjugates consisting of the synthetic retinoid Am580 and biotin connected via a linker moiety. We found that the linking substructure between the retinoid part and the biotin part is critical for retaining the biological activity. Conjugate 4 with a shorter linker showed similar potency to endogenous retinoid ATRA (1) and the parent compound Am580 (2) for neural differentiation of mouse embryotic carcinoma P19 cells, and showed the same pattern of induction of gene expression. It is expected to be useful as a probe for investigations of retinoid function. The design rationale and structure-activity relationship of the linker moiety are expected to be helpful for developing biotin conjugates of other nuclear receptor ligands.
