Galantamine is a natural alkaloid witha proved antioxidant activity, which easily passes the blood-brain barrier. This makes it a reliable drug for the treatment of many human brain diseases.In this paper we report the results of quantum chemical calculations of the dissociationenthalpies of O-H and C-H bonds in galantamine. The results clearly show the propensity of galantamine to react with radicals in the living organisms.This includes an assessment of the stability of O-H and C-H bonds in
