Notes: V-125 is an agonist of retinoid X receptors (RXRs).{62909} It induces homodimerization of RXR in HCT116 cells in a two-hybrid assay (EC50 = 13.8 nM). V-125 selectively induces transactivation of RXRα in human RXRα-overexpressing HCT116 cells over transactivation of RARα in human RARα-overexpressing HEK293 cells when used at concentrations of 25 and 100 nM, respectively. In vivo, V-125 (80 mg/kg in the diet) inhibits vinyl carbamate-induced lung tumor growth in mice.{62910} Unlike the RXR agonist bexarotene (Item No. 11571), V-125 does not increase plasma triglyceride or cholesterol levels in mice.
