Kinetic parameters for dextromethorphan O-demethylation catalyzed by human liver microsomes with different CYP2D6 genotypes

Dextromethorphan (10-400 μM) was incubated with human liver microsomes from subjects genotyped as shown in the table. Kinetic parameters were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis.
