Dextromethorphan sites, sigma receptors, and the psychotomimetic effects of sigma opiates

J M Musacchio et al. Prog Clin Biol Res. 1990.

Abstract

A review of the literature shows that the dysphoric and psychotomimetic side effects of opiate agonist-antagonist reside in the opiate levorotatory isomer. Thus, the current definition of the sigma receptor cannot explain the psychotomimetic effects of sigma opiates.
