Hydroxypinacolone retinoate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) is a direct-binding agonist of retinoic acid receptor (RAR). Hydroxypinacolone retinoate has low irritation and high stability; when formulated into nanoparticles, its transdermal efficiency is enhanced, allowing it to penetrate deep into the dermis and achieve sustained release. When used in combination with Retinyl propionate, hydroxypinacolone retinoate promotes fibroblast proliferation and upregulates the gene expression of type IV collagen, CRBP-I and RARB. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate can be used in research related to skin wrinkles and skin aging.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Gravi-A nanoparticles containing ydroxypinacolone retinoate (3.0 wt%; 0.5-4 h) achieve four times higher transdermal efficiency and deeper skin penetration in porcine skin compared to free HPR, with 52.90 μg/cm2 intradermal retention after 4 h[1].
Gravi-A nanoparticles containing ydroxypinacolone retinoate (0.006-0.01% (v/v); 72 h) promote type I collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts, with upregulation rates of 226%, 194%, and 217% at concentrations of 0.01%, 0.008%, and 0.006% (v/v) respectively[1].
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (5 μg/mL; 24-72 h) cotreated with 9 μg/mL retinyl propionate significantly increases human foreskin fibroblast (HFF-1) cell viability by ~40% at 24 h, with negligible toxicity across 24, 48, and 72 h timepoints[2].
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (5 μg/mL; 24-72 h) cotreated with 9 μg/mL retinyl propionate synergistically enhances mRNA expression of Col I, Col III, Col IV, CRBP I, and RARB across 24, 48, and 72 h, with the strongest synergy observed for CRBP I (up to 33-fold at 72 h)[2].
