| Research Abstract |
The objective of this research is to produce new compounds effective against inflammatory orphan diseases including inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn disease. Production of new anti-inflammatory compounds was performed by targeting nuclear receptors, retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and retinoic acid receptors (RARs).As a result, RXR agonists were found to show anti-inflammatory activity against DSS-induced and TNBS induced mice colitis.
