CGP 52608 is a selective ligand of the RAR-related orphan receptor alpha.[1] It has been used as a biochemical tool to investigate nuclear and membrane signaling of melatonin.[1] CGP 52608 has also been reported to possess antiarthritic activity.[2] The pharmaceutical company Novartis brought it to clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis, but development was discontinued in 2006.[3]
