The invention provides methods for treating an individual having a retinoid responsive disorder. In one embodiment, a method involves administering to the individual an effective amount of a selective CYP26B inhibitor, the selective CYP26B inhibitor having at least 10-fold selectivity for CYP26B relative to CYP26A. In another embodiment, a method involves administering to the individual an effective amount of a selective CYP26A inhibitor, the selective CYP26A inhibitor having a chemical formula set forth in the specification. The invention further provides screening methods for identifying a selective CYP26A inhibitor or selective CYP26B inhibitor.
本发明提供了治疗具有视黄醇响应性疾病的个体的方法。在一种实施方式中,该方法涉及向个体施用有效量的选择性CYP26B抑制剂,该选择性CYP26B抑制剂相对于CYP26A具有至少10倍的选择性。在另一种实施方式中,该方法涉及向个体施用有效量的选择性CYP26A抑制剂,该选择性CYP26A抑制剂具有在规范中列出的化学式。本发明还提供了筛选方法,用于识别选择性CYP26A抑制剂或选择性CYP26B抑制剂。
