A novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method was developed for isolation of dextromethorphan (DM) and its main metabolite dextrorphan (DP) from human plasma followed by GC-MS determination. Three different polymers, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), poly(ethylenepropyleneglycol) monobutyl ether (Ucon) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were synthesized as coated fibers using sol-gel methodologies. DP was converted to its acetyl-derivative prior to extraction and subsequent determination. The porosity of coated fibers was examined by SEM technique. Effects of different parameters such as fiber coating type, extraction mode, agitation method, sample volume, extraction time, and desorption condition, were investigated and optimized. The method is rapid, simple, easy and inexpensive and offers high sensitivity and reproducibility. The limits of detection are 0.010 and 0.015 ng/ml for DM and DP, respectively. The precisions for both analytes are below 5% (n=5). The correlation coefficient was satisfactory (r(2)>0.99) for both DM and DP. Linear ranges were obtained from 0.03 ng/ml to 2 microg/ml for DM and from 0.05 ng/ml to 2 microg/ml for DP.
Treatment of dextromethorphan 1 with various alkylating agents followed by base treatment led to Hoffman-type elimination reactions to produce a series of tricyclic derivatives, 6. These derivatives were characterized in vitro as sigma-1 receptor ligands.
