Tazarotene
Tazarotene is a synthetic acetylenic retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors RARβ and RARγ, modulating gene expression to normalize keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. It is used topically for plaque psoriasis, acne vulgaris, and photoaging, and is under investigation for certain skin cancers and as part of combination regimens for bladder and breast cancers. Its receptor selectivity aims to provide efficacy while minimizing systemic retinoid-associated adverse effects.
