Possible Interaction: Probucol and Ascorbate

supplement:

Ascorbate

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In addition, we have investigated the possibility of a synergistic interaction between ascorbate and probucol in inhibiting the oxidation of LDL.
In both the peroxidation of linoleic acid and the copper-initiated peroxidation of LDL, the antioxidant activity of probucol was significantly increased by low (3-6 microM) concentrations of ascorbate.
We conclude that the reaction between the phenoxyl radical of probucol and ascorbate results in a synergistic enhancement of the antioxidant capacity of these two compounds and speculate that such reactions could play a role in maintaining the antioxidant status of LDL during oxidative stress in vivo.
