AB  - Levallorphan inhibits the synthesis of RNA, DNA, and protein by Escherichia coli. The drug was found to cause an immediate, dramatic decrease in the amount of intracellular ATP. Evidence is presented which suggests that the decrease in ATP concentration is a consequence of the stimulation of an ATPase. Similar results were obtained in HeLa cells treated with levallorphan.
