RDH12 Inhibitors

RDH12 inhibitors are compounds that directly or indirectly modulate the activity of the RDH12 enzyme, which plays a role in the conversion of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal. Several of the compounds listed above act indirectly, primarily by affecting the broader retinoid metabolism. For instance, Citral and Disulfiram are known to inhibit certain aspects of retinol metabolism. By doing so, they can indirectly influence the activity of RDH12, either by altering the availability of its substrate or its product. Similarly, synthetic retinoids like Fenretinide, Acitretin, and Isotretinoin, can modulate the retinoid pathway. Their action on the retinoid metabolism can indirectly influence RDH12 by affecting the equilibrium between its substrate and product.

Moreover, compounds such as A1120 act on associated molecules, like the retinol binding protein, which transports retinol. By inhibiting this protein, the availability of retinol, and consequently the substrate for RDH12, can be affected.
