Dextromethorphan (DXM)
Introduction: Why Choose Dextromethorphan at Psychedelics Lab?
Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a widely studied dissociative compound with unique pharmacological properties, commonly used as a cough suppressant but also of increasing interest in psychedelic research for its NMDA receptor antagonism and sigma-1 receptor agonism. Psychedelics Lab supplies research-grade DXM with purity levels exceeding 98%, manufactured under stringent quality control standards to support reliable and reproducible scientific research in the USA and Europe.
What Is Dextromethorphan?
Dextromethorphan is the dextrorotatory enantiomer of the opioid analog levomethorphan, belonging to the morphinan class of compounds. It acts primarily as a low-affinity, non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, and an agonist at the sigma-1 receptor, with additional activity at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These interactions contribute to its dissociative, stimulant, and antidepressant-like effects. DXM is available as a hydrobromide salt, typically highly soluble in water, and is studied for its therapeutic potential in neuropsychiatric disorders, dissociative states, and neuroplasticity.
