| Targets |
Bendazol targets nitric oxide synthase (NOS) as an activator. It enhances NOS activity in renal glomeruli and collecting tubules. The compound also acts as a vasodilator, dilating blood vessels and reducing peripheral resistance. It inhibits aminopyrine N-demethylase activity in hepatic microsomes with an IC50 of 91201.08. Bendazol inhibits the progression of form-deprivation myopia and suppresses HIF-1α upregulation.

| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Bendazol is an orally effective hypotensive agent that dilates blood vessels and reduces peripheral resistance. It enhances NO synthase activity in renal glomeruli and collecting tubules. The compound inhibits the progression of form-deprivation myopia and suppresses HIF-1α upregulation. Its vasodilatory effects make it useful in the study of antihypertensive effects.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for Bendazol involve measuring NOS activity. NOS activity is assessed by measuring nitric oxide production using the Griess assay or other methods. The compound is added at varying concentrations, and activation is quantified. Aminopyrine N-demethylase activity is assessed by measuring formaldehyde production. HIF-1α expression is measured by Western blot. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Bendazol are conducted in vascular smooth muscle cells and other relevant cell types. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with the compound at varying concentrations. NO production is measured by Griess assay. Vasodilation is assessed by measuring vascular smooth muscle relaxation. Cell viability is assessed by standard assays. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate positive and negative controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Bendazol in vivo studies are conducted in animal models of hypertension and myopia. Animals are treated with Bendazol via oral administration. Blood pressure is monitored for antihypertensive effects. For myopia studies, form-deprivation myopia models are used and HIF-1α expression is assessed. Animals are monitored for clinical signs. Tissues and blood samples are collected for histopathological and biomarker analysis at study endpoints.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~480.17 mM)

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.00 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

| 10 mM | 0.4802 mL | 2.4008 mL | 4.8017 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
