A series of potent retinoid X receptor (RXR) selective ligands were designed and prepared. The lead compound 6a, showed good binding (K-d; 3-7 nM) and transactivation (EC50; 19-24 nM) to the RXR subfamily of retinoid receptors. More importantly, a small variation on the aromatic ring moiety led to 6b, which had less residual RAR agonist activity with RXR binding and potency of 4-5 nM and 5-13 nM, respectively.
