| Dextromethorphan hydrobromide monohydrate Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a dextratrorotatory morphinan with structural similarity to levorphanol, codeine, and morphine. Because of its strong antitussive effects, dextromethorphan is widely used as a cough suppressant. However, it does not provoke opioid activity as is characteristic of several other morphine derivatives. DXM binds to and inhibits NMDA (IC50 = 0.55 μM) and nicotinic receptors (IC50s = 0.7-3.9 μM) and blocks receptor-gated and voltage-gated calcium channels (IC50 = 60 μM) and voltage-gated sodium channels (IC50 = 78 μM). DXM has been used in multimodal analgesic therapies for acute and neuropathic pain. | Chemical Properties | White Solid | Uses | An antitussive drug. Orally active synthetic morphine analog. Analgesic (narcotic). Racemethorphan and levomethorpham are controlled substances (opiates). | Uses | Antitussive;Opioid ligand | Definition | ChEBI: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is the hydrobromide and monohydrate of the antitussive drug dextromethorphan. It is a hydrate and a hydrobromide. It contains a dextromethorphan. | Brand name | Benylin DM
