Recent Progress in the Design and Discovery of RXR Modulators Targeting Alternate Binding Sites of the Receptor

Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) occupy a central position within the nuclear receptor superfamily. They not only function as important transcriptional factors but also exhibit diverse nongenomic biological activities. The pleiotropic actions of RXRs under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions confer RXRs important drug targets for the treatment of cancer, and metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. RXR modulators have been studied...
