Retinoids are natural and synthetic analogs of the hormone retinoic ac
id. Retinoids are currently being investigated clinically as drugs in
several areas, including dermatology and oncology. We report the synth
esis and biological activity of a new series of potent, RAR-specific r
etinoids substituted with a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline or a 3,4-(1H)-
dihydroquinolin-2-one group. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
