Dextrorphan (also known as DXO) is a dissociative drug of the morphinan class. It's the main active metabolite of dextromethorphan (DXM). It appears as a colorless powder.[1]

Chemistry

Dextrorphan is a dextrorotatory molecule of the morphinan class. It contains a phenanthrene core structure with one aromatic ring (benzene) bound to two saturated rings (cyclohexane). Dextromethorphan is metabolized in the body by o-demethylation through the CYP2D6 enzyme to form Dextrorphan.[2]

Pharmacology

The pharmacology of dextrorphan is similar to that of dextromethorphan (DXM). However, dextrorphan is much more potent as an NMDA receptor antagonist as well as essentially inactive as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.[3] DXO is an active chemical and contributes to the subjective effects experienced when active doses of DXM are consumed.[4]

Binding affinities (Ki)

  • NMDA antagonist - 486 nM
  • Sigma-1 agonist - 351 nM
  • Serotonin transporter (SERT) - 484 nM
  • Mu opioid agonist - 420 nM

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

One user reported excessive itchiness accompanied by a "peaceful yet emotionless state" after 340mg of the substance was consumed.[5]

Warning: Many psychoactive substances that are reasonably safe to use on their own can suddenly become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with certain other substances. The following list provides some known dangerous interactions (although it is not guaranteed to include all of them).

Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some of the listed interactions have been sourced from TripSit.
