pubmed:abstractText
Daflon is a strong inhibitor of Cu(2+)-induced arachidonic acid peroxidation, as revealed by the inhibition of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance formation in mixed liposomes of phosphatidylcholine and arachidonic acid. Diosmin, the major Daflon constituent, is a good complexant of Cu2+ ions but not of Fe2+ ions. The Cu2+ complex formation may thus explain part of the antioxidant effect. However, Daflon is also a good quencher of the singlet oxygen-induced arachidonic acid peroxidation that does not involve metal ions. When cultured human fibroblasts are incubated with the diosmin-hesperidin mixture constituting Daflon, the latter is as efficient as vitamin E in inhibiting the ultraviolet A-induced lipid peroxidation and plasma membrane damage measured by lactate dehydrogenase release.
