Talarozole（Cat No.:I002545）is a selective inhibitor of the enzyme cytochrome P450 26 (CYP26), responsible for the degradation of retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A involved in cellular differentiation and proliferation. By inhibiting CYP26, talarozole increases retinoic acid levels, enhancing its biological effects. This mechanism makes talarozole a promising candidate for treating skin disorders like psoriasis and acne, where retinoic acid plays a key role in skin health. It has also been explored for its potential in cancer therapy and other retinoid-responsive diseases. Talarozole’s selective action offers a novel approach in retinoid-based therapies.
