bexarotene - Medications

Bexarotene capsules contain bexarotene, a member of a subclass of retinoids that selectively activate retinoid X receptors (RXRs). These retinoid receptors have biologic activity distinct from that of retinoic acid receptors (RARs). The chemical name of bexarotene is 4-[1-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-2-naphthalenyl) ethenyl] benzoic acid, and the structural formula is as follows: Bexarotene is an off-white to white powder with a molecular weight of 348.48 and a molecular formula of C 24 H 28 O 2 . It is insoluble in water and slightly soluble in vegetable oils and ethanol, USP. Each bexarotene capsule contains 75 mg of bexarotene for oral administration. It also contains the following inactive ingredients: butylated hydroxyanisole, polyethylene glycol 400, polysorbate 20 and povidone. The capsule shell contains gelatin, glycerin, purified water, sorbitol sorbitan solution, and titanium dioxide. The imprinting ink contains ammonium hydroxide, iron oxide black, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, propylene glycol and shellac glaze. Structural Formula
