General description

This analytical reference standard is applicable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for pain prescription monitoring, urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, or forensic analysis. Norbuprenorphine glucuronide is a urinary metabolite of the semi-synthetic opioid analgesic buprenorphine. Buprenorphine, sold under the trade names Temgesic and Subutex®, is prescribed for the treatment of chronic pain and heroin addiction.

Application

  • Reference material in mass spectrometry: Norbuprenorphine glucuronide is employed as a reference standard in mass spectrometry to facilitate the quantification of buprenorphine and its metabolites in human plasma. This application is essential for monitoring therapeutic drug levels during opioid addiction treatments, highlighting its role in improving the precision of pharmacokinetic assessments (Zhao et al., 2024).
  • Opioid metabolite analysis: The compound serves a critical role in the analytical assessment of urine samples for the presence of opioid metabolites, aiding in the development of more robust forensic and clinical toxicology methods. Such applications underscore its importance in the context of substance abuse monitoring and management (Furo et al., 2024).
