Exploration of the metabolism of dihydrocodeine via determination of its metabolites in human urine using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography.

Abstract excerpt

After single-dose administration of 40 or 60 mg of dihydrocodeine (DHC, in a slow-release tablet) to four healthy individuals known to be extensive metabolizers of debrisoquine, the urinary excretion of DHC and its four major metabolites, dihydrocodeine-6-glucuronide, nordihydrocodeine, dihydromorphine and nordihydromorphine, was assessed using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC). DHC and two...
