Low doses of dextromethorphan have a beneficial effect in the treatment of neuropathic pain.

Fundam. Clin. Pharmacol. 28(6) , 671-80, (2014)

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists may be given in persistent neuropathic pain, but adverse events especially with ketamine may limit their clinical use. Less central and cognitive adverse events are described with dextromethorphan and memantin...

Evaluation of thein vitro/in vivodrug interaction potential of BST204, a purified dry extract of ginseng, and its four bioactive ginsenosides through cytochrome P450 inhibition/induction and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase inhibition

Food Chem. Toxicol. 68 , 117-27, (2014)

• BST204 is a purified dry extract of ginseng containing high amounts of Rh2 and Rg3. • BST204 had only weak inhibitory effects on nine CYPs and five UGTs. • It is unlikely that BST204 alter pharmacokinetics of drugs metabolized by CYPs/UGTs.

Identification of the rat liver cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in the metabolism of the calcium channel blocker dipfluzine hydrochloride.

Environ. Toxicol. Pharmacol. 38(3) , 901-12, (2014)

This study aimed to identify the specific cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes involved in the metabolism of dipfluzine hydrochloride using the combination of a chemical inhibition study, a correlation analysis and a panel of recombinant rat CYP450 enzymes. The i...

Phenotyping of CYP450 in human liver microsomes using the cocktail approach.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 406(20) , 4875-87, (2014)

The cocktail approach is an advantageous strategy used to monitor the activities of several cytochromes P450 (CYPs) in a single test to increase the throughput of in vitro phenotyping studies. In this study, a cocktail mixture was developed with eight CYP-spe...

Comparison of liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to compact single quadrupole mass spectrometer for targeted in vitro metabolism assay.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1371 , 244-56, (2014)

The goal of this study was to evaluate the combination of powerful chromatographic methods and compact single quadrupole MS device for simple in vitro cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibition assay, instead of more expensive triple quadrupole MS/MS detectors. For thi...

Influence of Carbopol 71G-NF on the release of dextromethorphan hydrobromide from extended-release matrix tablets.

Pharm. Dev. Technol. 18(5) , 971-81, (2013)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of Carbopol(®) 71G-NF on the release of dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DM) from matrix tablets in comparison with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC(®) K15M) and Eudragit(®) L100-55 polymers. Controll...

Hepatic Cyp2d and Cyp26a1 mRNAs and activities are increased during mouse pregnancy.

Drug Metab. Dispos. 41(2) , 312-9, (2013)

There is considerable evidence that drug disposition is altered during human pregnancy and based on probe drug studies, CYP2D6 activity increases during human pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine whether the changes of CYP2D6 activity observed du...

Simultaneous determination of dextromethorphan and dextrophan in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and its application to a pharmacokinetic study.

Pharmazie 67(6) , 485-9, (2012)

A highly selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for quantitating dextromethorphan (DXM) and its metabolite dextrophan (DXO) in rat plasma using pirfenidone as an internal standard....

Endoxifen levels and its association with CYP2D6 genotype and phenotype: evaluation of a southern Brazilian population under tamoxifen pharmacotherapy.

Ther. Drug Monit. 34(4) , 422-31, (2012)

An association between CYP2D6 variation and clinical outcomes among women with breast cancer treated with tamoxifen (TAM) has been demonstrated, such that the presence of 2 functional CYP2D6 alleles was associated with better clinical outcomes. This associati...

Modulation of the pentose phosphate pathway alters phase I metabolism of testosterone and dextromethorphan in HepG2 cells.

Acta Pharmacol. Sin. 36(2) , 259-67, (2015)

The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is involved in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and generation of NADPH, which plays a key role in drug metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of modulation of the PPP on dr...
