Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Codeine metabolism in humans is complex due to the involvement of multiple cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, and has a strong genetic underpinning, which determines the levels of relevant CYP450 enzyme expression in vivo. Polymorphic CYP2D6 metabolises codeine to morphine via O-demethylation, while a strong correlation between CYP2D6 phenotype and opioidergic adverse effects of codeine is...
