Description

• 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).
