Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Antioxidant activity of a pharmaceutical substance hypocard was compared with activity of nitromalic acid and well-known agents nicorandil and Mexidol. The ability of these substances to inhibit spontaneous and oxidant-induced LPO process in rat brain homogenate was analyzed. The mechanisms of these effects were studied. The antioxidant properties of hypocard manifested in the inhibition of Fe(II)-induced LPO were significantly more pronounced in comparison with Mexidol and nicorandil.
