1,3-Benzoxazole-2,4-diol is a reactive compound that can be activated by catalase or other reducing agents. It has been shown to modulate the biochemical reactions of cells, and is used in medicines as an antioxidant. 1,3-Benzoxazole-2,4-diol is also able to activate the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 (Nrf2/HO-1) signaling pathway. This activation leads to the production of proteins such as collagen and glutathione that are important for wound repair. The reactive properties of 1,3-benzoxazole-2,4-diol have also been shown to be effective in treating muscle damage in animals. 1,3-Benzoxazole-2,4-diol has been shown to have antiinflammatory effects due to its ability to inhibit the production of malondialdehyde and serum al
