Bioactivity | Liarozole hydrochloride is an imidazole derivative and orally active retinoic acid (RA) metabolism-blocking agent (RAMBA). Liarozole hydrochloride inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP26)-dependent 4-hydroxylation of retinoic acid (IC50=7 μM), resulting in increased tissue levels of retinoic acid. Liarozole hydrochloride shows antitumoral properties[1][2][3]. |
Target | IC50: 7 μM (P450) |
Invitro | Liarozole (0.01~10 μM; 9 days; MCF-7 cells) inhibits cells proliferation[3].Liarozole (1 μM; 4 days; mesenchymal cells) completely inhibits chondrogenesis[4]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. 0 --> Liarozole hydrochloride 相关抗体: Cell Differentiation Assay[4] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | Liarozole (5-20 mg/kg; p.o.; 3 days) reverses the vaginal keratosis caused by estrogen stimulation[5].Liarozole (40 mg/kg; p.o.; 21 days) reduces tumor burden substantially[6]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Animal Model: |
