| About the compound: | Retinyl Acetate is a naturally-occurring fatty acid ester form of retinol (vitamin A) with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. Retinyl acetate binds to and activates retinoid receptors, inducing cell differentiation and decreasing cell proliferation. This agent also inhibits carcinogen-induced neoplastic transformation in some cancer cell types and exhibits immunomodulatory properties. (NCI04) Retinyl acetate (retinol acetate, vitamin A acetate) is a natural[dubious – discuss] form of vitamin A which is the acetate ester of retinol. It has potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities [2][3]. In the United States, retinyl acetate is classified generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in the amounts used to fortify foods with vitamin A.[4][5] GHS Hazard Statements • H315 (68.54%): Causes skin irritation [Warning Skin corrosion/irritation] • H360 (57.3%): May damage fertility or the unborn child [Danger Reproductive toxicity] • H361 (41.85%): Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child [Warning Reproductive toxicity] • H413 (62.92%): May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life [Hazardous to the aquatic environment, long-term hazard] |
