Dextromethorphan has been used as an antitussive for more than 40 years and is considered a drug with a good margin of safety. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether dextromethorphan and its metabolites--3-methoxymorphinan and dextrorphan--had local anaesthetic

Cytochromes mediating the biotransformation of dextromethorphan to dextrorphan and 3-methoxymorphinan, its principal metabolites in man, have been studied by use of liver microsomes and microsomes containing individual cytochromes expressed by cDNA-transfected human lymphoblastoid cells. In-vitro formation of dextrorphan from dextromethorphan

Dextromethorphan is used widely in vivo to phenotype the polymorphically expressed cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6. Also dextromethorphan is N-demethylated in vivo to 3-methoxymorphinan by human CYP3A4/5. The metabolic ratio (MR) of dextromethorphan/3-methoxymorphinan in plasma, saliva and urinary were examined as

The O-demethylation of dextromethorphan (DM) to dextrorphan (DR) is catalysed by the polymorphic CYP2D6 (cytochrome P4502D6) isozyme in man. DM is commonly used as a probe for phenotyping subjects as either poor or extensive metabolizers for the debrisoquine/sparteine oxidative polymorphism

European journal of pharmacology, 569(3), 188-193 (2007-07-03)
Dextromethorphan, an antitussive, has a complex pharmacologic profile and has not been well studied. Our aim was to evaluate whether dextromethorphan and its metabolites, dextrorphan and 3-methoxymorphinan, have a spinal anaesthetic effect. Using a method of spinal blockade in rats
