Product Information

• Name: Benzimidazole-4-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Benzimidazole-4-carboxylic acid (BICA) is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of serotonergic drugs. It is used in the treatment of hypertension, although it has not been approved by the FDA for this indication. BICA binds to the 5-HT1A receptor and 5-HT4 receptor and acts as an agonist at these sites. It has also been shown to inhibit nitric oxide production. The antihypertensive effects of BICA are thought to be due to its ability to increase cardiac contractility, decrease peripheral vascular resistance, and improve renal function.
