Description
Dextromethorphan is a 6-methoxy-11-methyl-1,3,4,9,10,10a-hexahydro-2H-10,4a-(epiminoethano)phenanthrene in which the sterocenters at positions 4a, 10 and 10a have S-configuration. It is a prodrug of dextrorphan and used as an antitussive drug for suppressing cough. It has a role as a oneirogen, a xenobiotic, a prodrug, a neurotoxin, an antitussive, a NMDA receptor antagonist and an environmental contaminant. It is functionally related to a dextrorphan. It is an enantiomer of a levomethorphan.
