The major metabolite of the non-opioid anticonvulsant/antitussive dextromethorphan is dextrorphan. In the present study, the effects of dextrorphan were determined in an experimental model of seizure activity (maximal electroshock convulsions) (MES). Subcutaneous administration of dextrorphan produced dose-related blockade of tonic hindlimb extension (THE) and a decrease in the duration of tonic forelimb extension (TFE). The anticonvulsant effect of dextrorphan was linear and maximally efficacious. Compared to the prototypical anticonvulsant drug diphenylhydantoin, dextrorphan was 2.5 times more potent (ED50's= 30μmol/kg and 12μmol/kg, respectively). Pretreatment. with naloxone failed to antagonize dextrorphan-induced blockade of THE. Moreover, pretreatment with dextrophan failed to significantly enhance the anticonvulsant potency of diphenylhydantoin. It is likely that the anticonvulsant effects of dextrorphan are related to its actions at the phencyclidine/N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex, whereas the anticonvulsant effects of dextromethorphan have been attributed to binding to a specific dextromethorphan site in the brain. Therefore, we suggest that while metabolism to dextrorphan could possibly contribute to the anticonvulsant effects of dextromethorphan, it is probably through an unrelated receptor mechanism.
