In a mouse study, amiloxate exerted a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory action and inhibited edema by about 70% even at a low dose 1. Due to structural similarities, amiloxate may also display antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of cinnamic acid 2.
- Mechanism of action
Amiloxate is a UV-B filter that selectively absorbs UV-B rays 3. It is proposed that amiloxate mediates an antioxidant action by acting as a free radical scavenger 2.
- Absorption
According to in vitro studies of amiloxate-containing tape strips on porcine ear, there was no detection of amiloxate undergoing skin penetration 3.
