Abstract excerpt
The oxidative metabolism of more than 20 drugs (e.g. sparteine, debrisoquine, dextromethorphan) is mediated by cytochrome P450IID6. Codeine O-demethylation to morphine was recently demonstrated to co-segregate with the polymorphic metabolism of debrisoquine and dextromethorphan. The female Dark-Agouti rat (DA) is an animal model for the poor metabolizer phenotype (PM) using debrisoquine or dextromethorphan as...
