General description

An analytical reference standard applicable for use as starting material in calibrators or controls for a variety of LC/MS or GC/MS applications such as urine drug testing, forensic analysis, or clinical toxicology. Also known as desvenlafaxine, O-desmethylvenlafaxine is an SNRI antidepressant marketed under the trade name Pristiq® for the treatment of depression. O-desmethylvenlafaxine is also a major urinary metabolite of venlafaxine, an SNRI antidepressant sold as Effexor® or Efexor and used to treat major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and other anxiety disorders associated with depression.

Application


  • Drug Stability in Pharmaceutical Formulations: Another study focused on the physical stability and solubility of O-Desmethylvenlafaxine in various pharmaceutical formulations, contributing to better drug delivery systems and enhanced therapeutic efficacy (Wang et al., 2020).

  • Monitoring Drug Precursors in Advanced Treatment Processes: Research monitored N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) precursors throughout membrane-based advanced wastewater treatment processes, considering the behavior of compounds like O-Desmethylvenlafaxine. This study aids in improving wastewater treatment strategies to mitigate pharmaceutical pollutants (Roccaro et al., 2020).

  • Chiral Drug Analysis in Environmental Waters: A study developed a dual enantioselective LC-MS/MS method for analyzing chiral drugs in surface water, including O-Desmethylvenlafaxine. This method helps in understanding the environmental fate and behavior of chiral pharmaceuticals, enhancing environmental risk assessments (Coelho et al., 2019).

The presence of the anesthetic lidocaine (LDC), the analgesic tramadol (TRA), the antidepressant venlafaxine (VEN) and the metabolites O-desmethyltramadol (ODT) and O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV) was investigated in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, in surface waters and in groundwater. The analytes were

A previous trial of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor desvenlafaxine (administered as desvenlafaxine succinate) raised concerns on potential serious cardiovascular and hepatic events. The current study was designed to estimate these events in desvenlafaxine versus placebo in a larger population followed

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) occurs particularly in post-menopausal women, being precipitated in many cases by severe emotional stress. We describe six patients in whom TTC occurred in association with therapeutic ingestion or overdose of the serotonin/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor venlafaxine, or its
