Identification
Common NameRetinoic acid, 13-cis-
ClassSmall Molecule
Description13-cis-Retinoic acid is a retinoid derivative of vitamin A used in the treatment of severe recalcitrant acne. It was most widely marketed under the brand name Accutane, which has since been discontinued. 13-cis-Retinoic acid is associated with major risks in pregnancy and so it is only available under the iPLEDGE program in the United States. The first 13-cis-Retinoic acid containing product was FDA approved on 7 May 1982.
