Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known history of liver or kidney disease
  2. Use of prescription or non prescription medications, herbals, foods or chemicals known to be metabolized by or affecting CYP2B6
  3. Females who are pregnant or nursing
  4. Known history of drug or alcohol addiction (prior or present addiction or treatment for addiction)
  5. Direct physical access to and routine handling of addicting drugs in the regular course of duty (this is a routine exclusion from studies of drugs with addiction potential)

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Effects of CYP2B6 Genetic Variants on Ketamine Metabolism and Clearance by CYP2B6*6 Hetero or Homozygote Genotype.
Time Frame: up to 24 hours
Ketamine metabolism, measured as the plasma norketamine/ketamine AUC ratio in CYP2B6*6 carriers (CYP2B6*6 hetero or homozygotes) compared to the wild-type CYP2B6*1/*1 genotype Ketamine, norketamine, and dehydronorketamine concentrations in plasma and urine were determined by enantioselective HPLC tandem mass spectrometry, using solid phase extraction, based on a modification of a published method.
up to 24 hours
