Am I bad at reading, or did the article not actually name the drug?

Your reading is fine, lazy writing I think. Its behind a hyperlink in the article (link here)

Its called YCT-529, made by YourChoice Therapeutics

YCT529 is a drug which acts as a potent and selective antagonist of the Vitamin A receptor retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-α). [0]

Yikes. I'd need pretty good evidence of safety to take something that does the opposite of tretinoin.

It'll probably get a better name once it's available

I didn't see a name...Also, not really a fan of how this article is written. I can't tell you much on the pill, but I can tell you how this author feels about men and their supposed unwillingness to participate in preventing pregnancy...
