In 2022,Miyazaki, Akira; Taki, Tomoki; Takeichi, Takuya; Kono, Michihiro; Yagi, Hiroaki; Akiyama, Masashi published an article in Journal of Dermatology. The title of the article was 《Darier disease successfully treated with a topical agent containing vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), vitamin E, and urea》.Product Details of 106685-40-9 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Darier disease (DD), also called keratosis follicularis, is an autosomal dominant hereditary keratinization disorder that manifests as keratotic papules with plaques in seborrheic areas. There are no validated curative treatments for DD, with the majority of cases treated symptomatically. We report the efficacy of a topical over-the-counter agent which contains retinyl palmitate, vitamin E, and urea for a patient with DD. A 13-yr-old girl had brown papules on her scalp, neck, shoulders, and axillae since entering elementary school. A skin biopsy revealed hyperkeratosis, suprabasal acantholysis, and dyskeratosis manifested as corps ronds and grains in the epidermis. Sanger sequencing found the previously reported heterozygous mutation c.1484C>T in ATP2A2. The application of an over-the-counter topical agent containing retinyl palmitate 2750 μg/g (5000 IU/g), tocopheryl acetate 20 mg/g, urea 200 mg/g, and monoammonium glycyrrhizinate 5 mg/g twice daily for 2 mo improved the papules without serious adverse events. Oral or topical aromatic vitamin A analogs (retinoids) are often used to treat DD. However, several adverse events are associated with retinoid treatment, and many patients only undergo their intermittent use or discontinue the treatments. Retinyl palmitate is more stable and has a lower irritative profile than other retinoic acids. When applied topically, however, retinyl palmitate cannot penetrate the skin as well as retinol can. Some reports have noted that vitamin E increases the biol. availability of vitamin A and that urea helps mech. percutaneous drug delivery. Our case suggests that retinyl palmitate has a sufficient therapeutic effect when combined with vitamin E and urea. In conclusion, we propose that topical agents containing retinyl palmitate, vitamin E, and urea might have a satisfactory effect on the skin lesions of DD patients, without the serious risks of adverse events. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 6-(3-(Adamantan-1-yl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-naphthoic acid(cas: 106685-40-9Product Details of 106685-40-9)
6-(3-(Adamantan-1-yl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-naphthoic acid(cas:106685-40-9) is a third-generation synthetic retinoid and a highly lipophilic compound derived from naphthoic acid. It is widely used in the treatment of acne.Product Details of 106685-40-9
