General description

A certified solution standard of Morphine-3-ß-D-glucuronide at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL for high volumes of sample testing. This certified solution standard is suitable for LCMS or GCMS applications including forensic analysis or urine drug testing.

Application


  • Morphine-3-β-ᴅ-glucuronide (M3G) Solution in Clinical Analysis: The use of M3G glucuronide standard in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been validated for quantifying analgesics and sedatives in human plasma, with applications in intensive care and neurological death determination studies. This underlines the solution′s critical role in pharmacokinetic research of morphine metabolites within pharmaceutical sciences (Jutras et al., 2020).

  • Opioid Metabolite Research with M3G: Analysis of opiate and opiate metabolites, including M3G, in urine after consumption of cold syrups by LC-MS/MS, emphasizes the solution′s importance in biochemical assays of morphine derivatives. This research is integral for monitoring drug abuse and optimizing therapeutic strategies in the pharma and biotech sectors (Yen YT et al., 2020).

  • Electrophoresis-based Determination of M3G: Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry has determined morphine and its isobaric glucuronide metabolites, including M3G, as an essential biochemistry tool for studying opioid metabolism. Such methods enable accurate profiling of drug metabolism, serving both research and clinical diagnostic purposes (Isbell TA et al., 2015).

  • M3G Metabolism and UGT2B7 Enzyme: The catalysis of M3G glucuronidation and glucosidation by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 highlights the solution′s use in uncovering complementary metabolic pathways of morphine. The findings have significant implications for the biochemist′s understanding of drug metabolism pathways in pharmaceutical research (Chau N et al., 2014).

  • Stability Assessment in Sewage Epidemiology: The stability of drug biomarkers, including M3G in municipal wastewater, influences the estimation of drug consumption. Using high-purity M3G solution as a research standard aids in sewage epidemiology and environmental monitoring (Senta I et al., 2014).

The 3-glucuronide metabolites of morphine and hydromorphone have been implicated as a causative factor for patients exhibiting myoclonus. The primary goal of this study was to determine plasma levels of morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) or hydromorphone-3-glucuronide (H3G) in patients demonstrating myoclonus and

The aim was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of morphine and its metabolite, morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G), in a rat model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. Morphine (15 mg/kg) was administered intravenously, and the concentrations of morphine and M3G in the plasma, urine and

Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a paradoxical increase in pain perception that may manifest during opioid treatment. For morphine, the metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) is commonly believed to underlie this phenomenon. Here, in three separate studies, we empirically assess the role of

Multiple adverse events are associated with the use of morphine for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain, including opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Mechanisms of OIH are independent of opioid tolerance and may involve the morphine metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G). M3G exhibits limited

Protocols

To optimize hydrolysis using β-glucuronidase, factors such as incubation time, temperature, hydrolysis pH, enzyme source, and enzyme concentration must be evaluated for each glucuronide metabolite to be analyzed.
