A forward chemical screen in zebrafish identifies a retinoic acid derivative with receptor specificity.

Retinoids regulate key developmental pathways throughout life, and have potential uses for differentiation therapy. It should be possible to identify novel retinoids by coupling new chemical reactions with screens using the zebrafish embryonic model.We synthesized novel retinoid analogues and deriva...
