Liarozole hydrochloride
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.

Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
IC50: 7 μM (P450)[1]
In Vitro
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].
