O-Desmethyltramadol is an opioid analgesic and the main active metabolite of 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]

Tramadol is demethylated by the liver enzyme CYP2D6[3] 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;[4] both (+) and (-)-O-desmethyltramadol are inactive as serotonin reuptake inhibitors,[5] but (-)-O-desmethyltramadol retains activity as a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor[6] and so the mix of both the parent compound and metabolites produced contributes significantly to the complex pharmacological profile of tramadol.
