Fenretinide (4-HPR), a synthetic retinoid deriverative, is a novel, potent and orally bioactive synthetic phenylretinamide analogue of retinol (vitamin A) with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. Fenretinide binds to and activates retinoic acid receptors (RARs), thereby inducing cell differentiation and apoptosis in some tumor cell types. This agent also inhibits tumor growth by modulating angiogenesis-associated growth factors and their receptors and exhibits retinoid receptor-independent apoptotic properties.
ln Vitro |
In several T-ALL cell lines, fenretinide (4-HPR) exhibits both short-term and long-term anticancer action. In CCRF-CEM leukemia cells, fenretinide suppresses DES activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner, increasing endogenous cellular dhCer levels in the process. In CCRF-CEM and Jurkat cells, fenretinide (3 μM) causes an accumulation of dhCer [1]. Insulin signaling is protected by fenretinide's inhibition of ceramide. Insulin-stimulated glucose absorption is prevented from decreasing by lipids when fenretinide is present [2]. At concentrations above 1 microM, fenretinide decreases OVCAR-5 cell survival and proliferation; at 10 microM, it suppresses growth by 70–90%. After three days of preincubation, fenretinide (1 microM) dramatically reduced OVCAR-5 invasion. After being exposed to 1 µM 4-HPR, endothelial cells did not form tubes; instead, they produced tiny cell aggregates [4].

ln Vivo |
In male C57Bl/6 mice fed a high-fat diet, fenretinide (4-HPR) (10 mg/kg, ip) selectively prevents the build-up of ceramides. Tests for insulin and glucose tolerance show that fenretinide treatment increases insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance [2]. The addition of 25 mg/kg ketoconazole to fenretinide raised the plasma levels of 4-HPR in NOD/SCID mice [3].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Ceramide inhibition with fenretinide protects insulin signaling. td> |
Resveratrol inhibits Des1 and protects insulin signaling. A, similar to fenretinide treatment, the addition of 20 μm RSV improved insulin signaling (100 nm, 10 min) in C2C12 myotubes exposed to 0.75 mm PA for 16 h. pAkt, phosphorylated Akt; Sirt1 KO, Sirt1 knock-out. C and D, RSV significantly reduced ceramides and increased dihydroceramides when added to PA-containing medium in comparison with PA alone. A, B, and E, to confirm that these effects occurred independently of Sirt1, similar to Sirt1 inhibition with nicotinamide (NAM) (A), Sirt1 ablation with shRNA (B) had no effect on RSV-mediated improvements in insulin signaling (E). *, p < 0.05 for treatment versus BSA. +, p < 0.05 for PA+RSV versus PA (n = 3–6). td> |
