Description

CrystallineRetinyl acetate (retinol acetate, vitamin A acetate) is a natural form of vitamin A. It is the acetate ester of retinol. It consists of yellow crystals which are greasy or sticky. It has a mild, characteristic odor. It has potential antineoplastic and chemo-preventive activities. It can be used to fortify food with vitamin A. As vitamin A acetate can induce cell differentiation and inhibit cell proliferation, it is used in skin-conditioning agent.


Retinyl acetate is an acetate ester. It derives from an all-trans-retinol.|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)

Drug Information

Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. (See all compounds classified as Adjuvants, Immunologic.)|Agents that reduce the frequency or rate of spontaneous or induced tumors independently of the mechanism involved. (See all compounds classified as Anticarcinogenic Agents.)

Drug Function and Efficacy

It promotes growth and maintains the normal functions of epithelial tissues such as skin, conjunctiva, and cornea. It also participates in the synthesis of rhodopsin and enhances the photosensitivity of the retina. It participates in many oxidation processes in the body, especially the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. When vitamin A is deficient, growth stops, bones grow poorly, reproductive function declines, skin becomes rough and dry, cornea softens, and dry eye and night blindness occur.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
