| Description | Acitretin (Ro 10-1670) is a second-generation systemic retinoid used in the treatment of psoriasis. |
| In vitro | Acitretin stimulates ADAM10 promoter activity with an EC(50) of 1.5 mM and leads to an increase of mature ADAM10 protein that results in a two- to three-fold increase of the ratio between alpha- and beta-secretase activity in neuroblastoma cells. [1] Acitretin (5-20 μM) impairs mitochondrial phosphorylation efficiency as demonstrated by the decrease in the state 3 respiration and ATP levels, and by the increase in the lag phase of ADP phosphorylation cycle, without affecting the membrane potential. Acitretin induces Ca(2+)-mediated mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) and decreased the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) content. [2] Acitretin preferentially inhibits the growth of SCL-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, but not of non-malignant keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Acitretin increases the levels of CD95 (Fas), CD95-ligand and Fas-associated death domain. Acitretin is able to induce apoptosis in skin cancer cells possibly via death receptor CD95 apoptosis pathway without affecting the viability of normal keratinocyte. [3] |
| In vivo | Acitretin undergoes alpha-oxidation, chain shortening O-demethylation, and glucuronidation in the perfused rat liver. [4] Acitretin rapidly appears in liver and muscle of rats, where it undergoes redistribution into skin and adipose tissue. [5] |

| Solubility Information | H2O: < 1 mg/mL (insoluble or slightly soluble) DMSO: 31.67 mg/mL (97.02 mM), Sonication is recommended.  Ethanol: < 1 mg/mL (insoluble or slightly soluble) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In Vivo Formulation | 10% DMSO+90% Saline: < 3.17 mg/mL (9.71 mM), Lower concentrations may be soluble, but exact solubility limit is unknown. 10% DMSO+40% PEG300+5% Tween 80+45% Saline: 3.17 mg/mL (9.71 mM), Solution. 10% DMSO+90% Corn Oil: 1.5 mg/mL (4.6 mM), Sonication is recommended. Please add the solvents sequentially, clarifying the solution as much as possible before adding the next one. Dissolve by heating and/or sonication if necessary. Working solution is recommended to be prepared and used immediately. The formulation provided above is for reference purposes only.

For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of 
10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.
1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO stock solution to 400 µL PEG300 and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.
2) Add 50 µL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.
3) Add 450 µL Saline,PBS or ddH2O and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
