Abstract
Background:: As cancer stands as a significant global health concern, many heterocyclic compounds that are more effective in cancer cells than healthy cells are being investigated for their selective anticancer potentials. One such compound is fenretinide, a synthetic derivative of retinoic acid that has a broad spectrum of cytotoxic activity against primary tumor cells, cell lines, and/or xenografts of various cancers. In this context, bexarotene and its derivatives, synthesized from hybridization of the fenretinide, are expected to possess a potential anticancer activity. background: Cancer is currently the most prevalent disease.
