O-Desmethyltramadol (M1) is an opioid analgesic which is made in the body from tramadol.[1]
(+)-O-Desmethyltramadol is the most important metabolite of tramadol produced in the liver after tramadol is consumed. This metabolite is considerably more potent as a μ opioid agonist than the parent compound,[2] and indeed is so much more potent[3] that tramadol can to some extent be regarded as a prodrug for O-desmethyltramadol in the same way that codeine is a prodrug for morphine.
Tramadol is demethylated by the liver enzyme CYP2D6[4] in the same way as codeine, and so similarly to the variation in effects seen with codeine, individuals who have a less active form of CYP2D6 ("poor metabolisers") will tend to get reduced analgesic effects from tramadol.
The two enantiomers of O-desmethyltramadol show quite distinct pharmacological profiles;[5] both (+) and (-)-O-desmethyltramadol are inactive as serotonin reuptake inhibitors,[6] but (-)-O-desmethyltramadol retains activity as a dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor[7] and so the mix of metabolites produced contributes significantly to the complex pharmacological profile of tramadol.
