Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Debrisoquine is a substrate of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and is used extensively as a probe to phenotype oxidative metabolism. Its mechanism involves adrenergic neuron blockade and partial inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake, though its primary scientific use is in metabolic enzyme profiling.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in CYP2D6 phenotyping studies, pharmacogenomics research, drug‑metabolism modelling, adrenergic‑pathway analysis, and personalised‑medicine investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include hypotension, dizziness, syncope, urinary retention and hypersensitivity reactions. Handle with adrenergic‑modulator precautions.
