4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 Metabolism/Metabolites

1. Codeine O-demethylation to morphine is mediated by cytochrome P450 IID1 (rat), or P450 IID6 (man), and exhibits genetic polymorphism. Thebaine is a precursor in the formation of endogenous morphine and codeine in man, being O-demethylated to oripavine. 2. The objective of the present study was to ascertain whether the O-demethylation of thebaine to oripavine was mediated by cytochrome P450 IID1 in rat liver microsomes. 3. Thebaine O-demethylation showed strain differences in female Sprague-Dawley (SD) and female Dark-Agouti (DA) rats, which serve as a model for the human debrisoquine/sparteine metabolism phenotypes. 4. The total intrinsic clearance of thebaine to oripavine was high (19.7 ml/h per mg protein) in SD rats, indicating that oripavine is a major metabolite of thebaine. A 3-fold lower intrinsic clearance was observed in DA rats (6.7 ml/h per mg protein). 5. Thebaine O-demethylation was inhibited by quinine and known substrates of cytochrome P450 IID1/P450 IID6, supporting the major involvement of cytochrome P450 IID1 in oripavine formation in rats.

Thebaine, an intermediate of morphine biosynthesis in the poppy plant, Papaver somniferum, was transformed to oripavine, codeine, and morphine by rat liver, kidney, and brain microsomes in the presence of an NADPH-generating system. The formation of morphine, codeine, and oripavine was identified by a specific RIA, HPLC, and GCMS. Thebaine also gave rise to four other compounds, which for the moment are unidentified. NADH dramatically increased the formation of both codeine and morphine when used together with an NADPH-generating system, especially in liver microsomes. NADPH is essential in the formation of oripavine from thebaine and morphine from codeine, while NADH is critical in the conversion of thebaine to codeine and from oripavine to morphine. Carbon monoxide or SKF 525A inhibited the conversion, indicating a role of cytochrome P-450. These results provide evidence for the enzymatic in vitro conversion by mammalian tissues of thebaine to morphine. The pathway is similar to that which exists in plants.
