    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Vitamin A is vital for human growth, development, reproduction, and vision.
    • Chemical modifications of Vitamin A result in retinoids with potential therapeutic applications.
    • Retinoids are associated with significant toxicity, limiting their medicinal use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the therapeutic potential of retinoids in treating skin and neoplastic diseases.
    • To highlight the effectiveness of 13-cis-retinoic acid in managing severe recalcitrant cystic acne.
    • To address the challenge of managing retinoid toxicity in clinical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on Vitamin A derivatives and their therapeutic applications.
    • Analysis of clinical data regarding the efficacy and toxicity of retinoids.
