Scientific Background: AM-580, a benzoic derivative of retinoic acid and a selective RAR-α agonist, has been shown to significantly reduce the production of Th1 cytokines but promote Th2 cytokines in human PBMCs7 and to inhibit microglial activation, thus acting beneficially in Alzheimer's disease treatment. It also is known to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis.
