Retinoic acid analogs, which contain an aromatic ring fixed between the 5 and 8 positions of retinoic acid, were synthesized by a palladium catalyzed coupling reaction between an enol triflate and a tributylstannylolefin and their biological activities were subsequently evaluated. None of the analogs exhibited antiproliferative, differentiation-inducing, or apoptosis-inducing activities in HL 60 cells. However, the 9Z-derivatives of indene and benzofuran showed a strong binding affinity for the RXR receptor compared to that of 9CRA.
