Abstract

The abuse of dextromethorphan has been prevalent for 15 years in Korea and its fatal cases were reported even though it has proved to be very safe. In this study, to investigate the safety and tolerance assessment of dextromethorphan, the metabolic phenotyping and genotype of dextromethorphan were studied. After a single 30 mg of dextromethorphan oral administration to 74 volunteers, concentration of dextromethorphan and its metabolites, dextrorphan, hydroxymorphinan and methoxymorphinan were measured in urine which collected during 8hrs after the drug administration. CYP2D6 phenotype was determined from the ratio of dextromethorphan to dextrorphan. GC/MS was used to quantify dextromethorphan and its metabolites. For genotyping, mutant alleles of the CYP2D6 gene were identified. 24 subjects (32.4%) were homozygous for CYP2D6*10B, 29 subjects (39.2%) were heterozygous for this allele, while in 21 subjects (28.4%) no exon 1 mutation could be found. The frequency of CYP2D6*10B-allele containing the 188C T mutation was 54% of total subjects studied.
