Polymorphic differences in dextromethorphan metabolism were observed in three studies conducted in a total of 44 subjects (of Dutch origin) administered 60 mg dextromethorphan hydrobromide as an OROS tablet. Mean plasma dextromethorphan (DM) concentrations after a single dose and at

The purpose of this study was to determine whether drug metabolism (CYP1A2, CYP2D6 and CYP3A) activity varies in the pregnant state compared with the nonpregnant state. Subjects were studied at 14 to18 weeks of gestation, 24 to 28 weeks of
Dextromethorphan (DM), a widely used antitussive, has demonstrated an effective neuroprotective effect. Excessive release of glutamate is considered to be an underlying cause of neuronal damage in several neurological diseases. In the present study, we investigated whether DM or its

Drug abuse involving dextromethorphan, an antitussive, has been a social problem in various geographic locations since the 1960s. Ironically, high doses of the drug confer neuroprotective activity with central nervous system and behavioral effects. Accumulating evidence suggests that metabolism to

A simple, sensitive, and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatrography assay is described for the simultaneous determination of dextromethophan, dextrorphan, 3-hydroxymorphinan, and 3-methoxymorphinan in plasma and urine. A conventional solvent-solvent extraction procedure was used for the isolation of the analytes from plasma
