Abstract: 6-[(E)-2-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)ethen-1-yl]- and 6-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-6-naphthyl)-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acids (4 and 8) have been synthesized and show significant activity in reversing the keratinization process in hamster tracheal organ culture and in inhibiting the induction of ornithine decarboxylase in mouse skin by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, two assays used to measure retinoid activity. The 2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid 8 was more active than 4.
