Biological Activity: Benzamidine is a competitive protease inhibitor that blocks the hydrolytic cleavage of glucagon by plasmin, trypsin and thrombin. Benzamidine effectively inhibits the degradation of glucagon by relevant proteases during the collection, storage and analysis of human plasma and blood samples. During in vivo metabolism, Benzamidine undergoes N-hydroxylation and produces multiple metabolites, exhibiting characteristics of delayed excretion or biphasic elimination. Benzamidine only induces slight single-strand DNA breaks at high concentrations and shows no significant genotoxic potential overall. Benzamidine may interfere with the detection of some glucagon antisera, but does not affect key antigen-antibody affinity at specific concentrations. Benzamidine can be used as a stabilizer in glucagon radioimmunoassays to ensure the accuracy and recovery rate of detection results^[1][2][3].
