Abstract excerpt
Dextromethorphan (DEM)-mediated N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor blockade may result from an action of unchanged DEM or its active metabolite, dextrorphan (DOR). In humans, DEM is metabolized into DOR by the polymorphic enzyme CYP2D6. We therefore investigated the impact of quinidine (Qd), a selective inhibitor of CYP2D6, on DEM disposition and the contribution of CYP2D6 phenotype on DEM antinociceptive and...
