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...
