Effect of venlafaxine on scavenging free radicals in vitro.

UNLABELLED: O BJECTIVE: Venlafaxine (VLF) was examined as a potential donor of H atom(s) to scavenge hydroxyl and peroxy-type radicals generated under aerobic conditions by catalytic oxidation of ascorbate with Cu²⁺ ions. Kinetics of the electron-donor property of VLF was investigated by standard ABTS and DPPH assays. Electron parama.....
