General description

Morphine-6-β-D-glucuronide is a primary plasma and urinary metabolite of the opiate analgesic morphine. Sold under trade names including MS Contin®, Kadian®, Oramorph®, and Roxanol for pain relief, morphine is also a commonly abused recreational drug. This certified analytical reference standard is suitable for a variety of GC/MS or LC/MS applications from pain prescription monitoring and urine drug testing to clinical toxicology and forensic analysis.

Application

  • Pharmacokinetics and Clinical Study Applications: A method involving liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of several analgesics, including Morphine-6-β-D-glucuronide, applied in a clinical study for determining neurological death in intensive care units (Jutras et al., 2020).
  • Opioid Receptor Research: Research highlighted the higher efficacy of Morphine-6-β-D-glucuronide compared to morphine as a mu-opioid receptor agonist in the rat locus coeruleus, supporting its use in detailed opioid receptor studies (Osborne et al., 2000).

Synthesis and biological evaluation of new derivatives of Morphine-6-Glucuronide (M6G) are described. M6G is an active metabolite of morphine which displays more analgesia than morphine with a superior side effect profile but with a less efficiently BBB penetration. These phenomena

A morphine plasma concentration/respiratory rate relationship has been described for both adults and children although that of its metabolite, morphine-6-glucuronide, remains uncertain. We describe this relationship in a child with end-stage renal failure who received repeat morphine administration over two

Our aim was to compare pharmacological aspects of two switching strategies from morphine/oxycodone to methadone; the stop and go (SAG) strategy in which methadone is started directly after the initial opioid has been stopped, and the 3-days switch (3DS), in
