Abstract excerpt
Dextromethorphan (DM) is O-demethylated into dextrorphan (DEX) in humans by the cytochrome P450 designated as CYP2D6 and N-demethylated into 3-methoxymorphinan (3MM) via CYP3As. Clinically, DM has been successfully used as an index of CYP2D6 and this paper describes analytical and clinical data that will help evaluate the use of DM hydrobromide as a probe of CYP3A activity. DM and its three demethylated...
