General description

A certified Snap-N-Spike® solution of oxymorphone suitable for use in a variety of GC/MS or LC/MS applications from pain prescription monitoring, clinical toxicology, and pharmaceutical research to forensic analysis and urine drug testing. Oxymorphone, sold under trade names such as Opana®, Numorphan®, and Numorphone, is an opiate analgesic indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain.

Application


  • Advanced UHPLC-MS/MS Methodology: A novel ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed for quantifying oxymorphone along with other opioids in various human tissues. This technique is crucial for understanding the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of synthetic opioids, providing valuable data for both clinical and pharmaceutical research (Manca et al., 2023).

  • Genetic Association Studies: Oxymorphone′s application extends to genetic studies where its interaction with the CYP2D6 genotype is analyzed to determine individual responses in opioid analgesia. This research is critical for optimizing pain management strategies and reducing adverse effects in treatments involving synthetic opioids (Merchant et al., 2022).

  • Drug Safety and Regulation: Oxymorphone is a focus of regulatory review processes, particularly in the context of the opioid crisis. Analyzing the decisions and advisories concerning oxymorphone helps in understanding its role in current medical practice and its impact on public health policies (Litman, 2020).

  • Innovative Analytical Techniques: Research includes the development of advanced analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, for detecting oxymorphone in biological samples. These methods are essential for clinical diagnostics and forensic investigations, ensuring accurate and sensitive detection of this potent analgesic (Norouzi et al., 2020).

  • In Vitro Safety Evaluations: Oxymorphone is also studied in in vitro models to assess its hemolytic potential when abused intravenously. This research is crucial for understanding the risks associated with non-prescribed administration routes and contributes to safer pharmaceutical formulations (Persich et al., 2020).
