DEXTROMETHORPHAN(Cas 125-71-3) Usage
Description |
Dextromethorphan is structurally related to opioids but is devoid of analgesic or sedative effects at therapeutic doses. It is metabolized in the liver, primarily by the enzyme CYP2D6, into a more potent metabolite called dextrorphan. |
Uses |
Dextromethorphan is used as a non-prescription cough suppressant and antitussive. It is employed to treat non-productive cough (coughing without mucus production). Dextromethorphan's metabolite, dextrorphan, is a potent noncompetitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor. Dextromethorphan's NMDA receptor antagonism has led to its use in treating phantom pain. |

Biological Functions |
Dextromethorphan acts on the central nervous system to suppress the cough reflex. |

Dextromethorphan decreases the excitability of the human motor cortex

Dextromethorphan (DM), a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, has recently attracted clinical interest for its potential as a neuroprotective agent in various models of excitotoxicity. We were interested in learning whether this drug can modulate the excitability of the motor cortex in healthy subjects.
