Bexarotene chemotherapy drug molecule C013 / 7785
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 (orange), hydrogen (white), and oxygen (pink)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Bexarotene chemotherapy drug molecule, C013 / 7785. In this computer-generated illustration, we can marvel at the molecular arrangement of this antineoplastic agent used in chemotherapy to combat various types of cancer, including cutaneous T cell lymphoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, and Kaposis sarcoma. The vibrant colors assigned to different atoms allow us to distinguish carbon (orange), hydrogen (white), and oxygen (pink) within the molecule's composition. This visual representation not only highlights its chemical complexity but also emphasizes its potential as a powerful weapon against malignant cells. Interestingly, studies conducted on mice have revealed an additional therapeutic benefit of bexarotene: it has shown promise in breaking down protein plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease in the brain. This groundbreaking discovery opens up new avenues for exploring potential treatments for this debilitating neurodegenerative disorder. As we delve into the world of pharmaceuticals and biochemistry through this artwork, we are reminded of the significant role that molecules like bexarotene play in advancing medical science. With its oral administration and potent antineoplastic properties, bexarotene represents a crucial tool in oncology and chemotherapy. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovative solutions in healthcare. Through continued research and development efforts guided by molecules like bexarotene, we strive towards improving patient outcomes and conquering diseases that plague our society.
