Descriptor dextrometorfano
Entry term(s) d-metorfan
Scope note: Análogo metilado del DEXTRORFANO que muestra una elevada afinidad para unirse en determinadas regiones del encéfalo, incluido el centro medular de la tos. Este compuesto es antagonista del receptor NMDA (RECEPTORES DE N-METIL-D-ASPARTATO) y actúa como bloqueante de canales no competitivo. Es uno de los ANTITUSIVOS más utilizados, y también se usa para el estudio del papel de los receptores de glutamato en neurotoxicidad.

Scope note: 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.
