Patent number: 11535596Abstract: Substituted analogs of dextromethorphan (DM) are disclosed, which are shown to have substantial binding affinity at both NMDA and sigma-1 receptors, and which are degraded by human liver enzymes more slowly than dextromethorphan. The analogs are useful as alternatives to dextromethorphan, and can provide the same benefits without requiring co-administration of a cytochrome P-450 enzyme inhibitor.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Center for Neurologic StudyInventors: Richard Alan Smith, Darryl C. Rideout, Kathleen J. Myers, Andrew Kawasaki
