Inhibition of rat lens aldose reductase by bendazac-L-lysine salt.
Authors describe the in vitro effect of bendazac-L-lysine salt on the activity of enzyme aldose reductase from rat lens. In the presence of bendazac the activity of the tested enzyme was inhibited. Lineweaver-Burk plot demonstrated that the inhibition was noncompetitive. The possible curative effects on diabetic cataract together with a better way of administration are pointed out.
