Abstract

A method of identifying a compound which is an inhibitor of the enzyme cytochrome P450RAI is performed by selecting a compound that has retinoid activity in an art recognized assay and includes a benzoic acid, benzoic acid ester, naphthoic acid ester or heteroaryl carboxylic acid or ester moiety, with a partial structure of —A(R)—(CH)where n is 0 and the remaining variables are as described in the specification and claims. Thereafter, a compound having the cytochrome P450RAI inhibitory activity is identified and selected where the compound has the —A(R)—(CH)—COORpartial structure wherein the variable n is 1 or 2.
