BMS 493 (C005B-025335)

General description

BMS 493 inhibits the formation of neuritic processes and plasmenyethanolamine -phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity.

Application

BMS 493 has been used:

• as an inhibitor for the dietary and pharmacologic manipulation of retinoic acid (RA) activity in vivo and in vitro
• for human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) culture and ventricular cardiomyocytes (VCMs) differentiation
• to inhibit retinoic acid (RA) signaling in explants
• as a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) inhibitor for the induction of synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3) and ATP-dependent RNA helicase (DDX4) in primordial germ cells (PGCs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

BMS 493 is an inverse pan-RAR agonist. Retinoic acid receptors (RARs) are ligand-dependent transcription factors that control a number of physiological processes. RARs exert their functions by regulating gene networks controlling cell growth, differentiation, survival, and death.
