Features:
Retinoic acid is a naturally occurring derivative of vitamin A (retinol).

Retinoic acid is produced in the body from dietary vitamin A. Vitamin A can be ingested in two primary forms:
• Preformed vitamin A (retinol and its esters) found in animal products like liver, dairy, and fish.
• Provitamin A carotenoids (such as beta-carotene) found in colorful fruits and vegetables. Once ingested, these compounds are converted into retinol, which can then be oxidized to retinal and further oxidized to retinoic acid.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a key component in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). In APL, ATRA induces the differentiation of malignant promyelocytes into mature granulocytes, leading to clinical remission.

-Retinoic acid can have antioxidant properties
-High levels of retinoic acid have been associated with increased ROS production and oxidative stress
-The potential prooxidant action may contribute to its anti-cancer effects by inducing oxidative damage in cancer cells, thereby enhancing apoptosis.

Source: HalifaxProj(suppress)
Type:
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in the degradation of extracellular matrix components.
MMP-9 facilitates the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, which can enable cancer cells to invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant sites (metastasis).
Elevated levels of MMP-9 have been associated with poor prognosis in several cancers, including breast, lung, and colorectal cancers.
MMP2 and MMP9: two enzymes are critical to tumor invasion.
