Bexarotene chemotherapy drug molecule C013 / 7784
Bexarotene chemotherapy drug molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the antineoplastic drug bexarotene (C24H28O2). Bexarotene (tradenamed Targretin) is an oral antineoplastic agent used in chemotherapy to treat cutaneous T cell lymphoma. It has also been used for lung cancer, breast cancer, and Kaposis sarcoma. Studies in mice have shown that bexarotene breaks down the protein plaques in the brain that are associated with Alzheimers disease. Atoms are colour coded: carbon (purple), hydrogen (white), and oxygen (blue)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Bexarotene chemotherapy drug molecule, also known as C013 / 7784. Created through a computer model, this illustration provides a detailed representation of the antineoplastic drug used in chemotherapy to combat various forms of cancer. Bexarotene, with its chemical formula C24H28O2, is primarily employed in treating cutaneous T cell lymphoma but has also shown promise in lung cancer, breast cancer, and Kaposis sarcoma. Its significance goes beyond oncology as studies conducted on mice have revealed its potential to break down protein plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. The artwork beautifully highlights each atom within the molecule by color-coding them: carbon appearing purple, hydrogen depicted as white, and oxygen portrayed in blue. This visual representation not only emphasizes the complexity of pharmaceutical chemistry but also serves as a reminder of how these tiny particles play an essential role in medical advancements. With its black background adding depth and contrast to the image, this print captures both scientific precision and aesthetic appeal. It symbolizes progress made in healthcare research while inspiring further exploration into molecular models that could revolutionize cancer treatment and potentially address neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Authored by Dr. Tim Evans from Science Photo Library (SPL), this remarkable piece invites viewers into the fascinating world where art meets science—a realm where molecules hold immense power for improving lives through innovative pharmacological solutions.
