The large production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the oxidative stress and the subsequent
functional decline of organ systems. p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) is known to play a pivotal protective
role against oxidative stress-related diseases. We have developed biodegradable antioxidant copolyoxalate,
in which HBA is chemically incorporated into its backbone for the treatment of oxidative stressrelated
diseases.
