Selective modulation of processes mediated by retinoid X receptors, and compounds useful therefor

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, ligands have been discovered which selectively bind retinoid X receptors. Such ligands can be used for the selective modulation of retinoid X receptor mediated processes. In a further aspect of the present invention, there are provided pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle containing at least one of the above-described selective ligands. Such compositions are useful, for example, for the treatment of a variety of retinoid X receptor mediated disease states.
