Pretreatment with bendazac attenuates retinal damage induced by intense light in rats.

Bendazac is a drug which protects proteins from denaturation induced by different agents. It is also effective in protecting rabbits from X-ray-induced cataract. This study deals with the effects of bendazac on the intense light-induced retinal damage in rats.

Correlations between embryotoxic and genotoxic effects of phenytoin in mice.

The anticonvulsant drug phenytoin (DPH) has been suspected to produce embryotoxicity through an arene oxide intermediate. This drug was also found to be a genotoxic agent. These hypotheses were tested in pregnant mice modulating the phases I and II metabolizing enzymes.
