Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of dextromethorphan (CAS 125-71-3) metabolism is dependent on hepatic cytochrom P4502D6 (CYP2D6) activity. The relationship between the CYP2D6 genotype and the dextromethorphan phenotype was studied in 83 healthy unrelated subjects. Genotype was determined by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Phenotyping was performed by administration of 25 mg dextromethorphan hydrobromide and...
