Dimemorfan(INN) (ordimemorphan) (brand namesAstomin,Dastosirr,Tusben), ordimemorfan phosphate(JAN), also known as3,17-dimethylmorphinan,is anantitussive(cough suppressant) of themorphinanfamily that is widely used inJapanand is also marketed inSpainandItaly.[1][2][3][4]It was developed byYamanouchi Pharmaceutical(nowAstellas Pharma) and introduced in Japan in 1975.[3]It was later introduced in Spain in 1981 and Japan in 1985.[5]

Side effects

[edit]

Adverse effects include nausea, somnolence, dry mouth, and decreased appetite.[5]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Dimemorfan is ananalogueofdextromethorphan(DXM) and itsactive metabolitedextrorphan(DXO), and similarly to them, acts as a potentagonistof theσ1receptor(Ki= 151 nM).[6][7]However, unlike DXM and DXO, it does not act significantly as anNMDA receptor antagonist(Ki= 16,978 nM), and for this reason, lacksdissociativeeffects, thereby having reducedside effectsandabuse potentialin comparison.[8][9]Similarly to DXM and DXO, dimemorfan has only relatively lowaffinityfor theσ2receptor(Ki= 4,421 nM).[7]
