Atorvastatin (AVA) direct antioxidant activity by a DPPH+ scavenging model. After 50 minutes of incubation with DPPH+ free radicals, AVA scavenging potential was measured by spectrophotometry at 517 nm. A clear Q-curve () can be evidenced, representing a dose-response phenomenon, and AVA’s EC50 was . Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was used as an antioxidant (positive control) and presented as and . The experiments were done in triplicate and repeated 3 times ().
