Ketobemidone is metabolized in the liver by N-dedemethylation, ringhydroxylation, O-methylation, and O-conjugation. The principal phase 1 reaction is N-demethylation. Primary metabolites of ketobemidone are norketobemidone, 4'-hydroxyketobemidone, and hydroxymethoxyketobemidone. The metabolites' pharmacological activity is unknown.<ref>https://bok.fass.se/LIF/product?userType=0&nplId=19930507000075</ref> | |||
