Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for identifying RXR-agonist molecules, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: (i) a sufficient amount of a compound which is an active ligand for at least one receptor of the super-family of steroidal/thyroidal receptors, other than an RXR-receptor-specific ligand, and which can heterodimerize with the RXRs, is applied topically to a part of the skin of a mammal, (ii) a molecule capable of having an RXR-agonist activity is administered systemically or topically to this same mammal, or to this same part of the skin of the mammal, before, during or after step (i), and (iii) the response on that part of the skin of the mammal thus treated is evaluated.
