A stable-isotope-dilution HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry-based method was developed for the determination of dextromethorphan in human plasma. Plasma samples were prepared for analysis by solid-phase extraction on octadecylsilane extraction cartridges. Dextromethorphan and the deuterium-labeled dextromethorphan internal standard were chromatographed on a short reversed-phase column and detected by a selected-reaction-monitoring scheme. Linear standard curves were obtained over three orders of magnitude and the limit of quantitation for dextromethorphan was 50 pg/ml, using a 1-ml plasma sample. The combination of HPLC and electrospray tandem mass spectrometry resulted in a rapid, selective and sensitive method for the analysis of dextromethorphan in plasma. The method was applied for the evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profile of dextromethorphan in human volunteers following peroral administration.

D003915 Dextromethorphan Methyl analog of DEXTRORPHAN that shows high affinity binding to several regions of the brain, including the medullary cough center. This compound is an NMDA receptor antagonist (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and acts as a non-competitive channel blocker. It is one of the widely used ANTITUSSIVES, and is also used to study the involvement of glutamate receptors in neurotoxicity. d-Methorphan,Delsym,Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide,Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, (+-)-Isomer,Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Monohydrate,Dextromethorphan Hydrochloride,Dextromethorphan, (+-)-Isomer,Racemethorphan,Hydrobromide, Dextromethorphan,Hydrochloride, Dextromethorphan
