Groups	nutraceutical approved investigational
Description	Tretinoin, also known as all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), is a naturally occurring derivative of [vitamin A] (retinol).[A257474] It is an oxidation product in the physiological pathway of vitamin A metabolism.[A257689] In human circulation, tretinoin is normally found at very low concentrations, approximately 4 to 14 nmol/L.[A257689] Tretinoin exhibits anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, antioxidant, and free radical-scavenging activities.[A257689] It has been used in dermatology for many years to treat various skin conditions ranging from acne to wrinkles [A257474,A258185] and activates nuclear receptors to regulate epithelial cell growth and differentiation.[A257474,A257629,A257609] Tretinoin is given orally to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia [L45349] and topically to treat skin conditions such as acne.[L45389,L34869,L45384]
