Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Dextromethorpan (DM) is widely used as a probe drug to assess in vivo the activity of the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). The aim of the study was to compare metabolic ratios (MRs) of DM to dextrorphan (DEX) in plasma and urine. We examined, separately in urine and plasma, the relationships between the MRs which are based on DEX and those involving the sum of DEX and a secondary metabolite...
