Abstract excerpt
In an effort to identify the human cytochromes P450 involved in the N-demethylation of dextromethorphan, the kinetics of 3-methoxymorphinan formation were studied in microsomal enzyme systems. Under initial rate conditions, 3-methoxymorphinan formation demonstrated single enzyme Michaelis-Menten kinetics using microsomes obtained from three human livers (Km: 0.52-0.71 mM; Vmax: 375-812 pmol/mg protein/min)....
