Talarozole inhibits the metabolism of retinoic acid by blocking cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP26 isoenzymes (CYP26A1 and possibly also CYP26B1), retinoic acid hydroxylases.[2] Because of this mechanism, it is called a retinoic acid metabolism blocking agent (RAMBA).[2][3]

It has 750-fold higher potency than the earlier drug liarozole as well as greater selectivity, with more than 300-fold selectivity for inhibition of CYP26A1 over other steroid-metabolizing enzymes like CYP17A1 (17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) and aromatase (CYP19A1).[2][4]
