| Bioactivity | Bendazac is an oxyacetic acid with anti-inflammatory, antinecrotic, choleretic and antilipidaemic properties. Bendazac acts by preventing protein denaturation and delays the cataractogenic process[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Bendazac is an anti-inflammatory agent endowed with protein antidenaturant properties effective for various inflammatory skin conditions. Bendazac has been shown to be a strong reacting substrate in a chemical oxidizing system, which mimics a physiological pathway of hydroxy radical generation[2].By using EPR spectroscopy of spin-labelled bovine serum albumin (BSA), Bendazac was shown to prevent the BSA denaturation induced by urea, heat and free radicals produced in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system[2]. |
