T A Aasmundstad et al.
Biochemical pharmacology, 46(6), 961-968 (1993-09-14)
The biotransformation of morphine was characterized in freshly isolated parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells from rats and guinea pigs in suspension culture to establish an in vitro model for morphine metabolism. Liver cells were prepared by a collagenase perfusion technique
D G Watson et al.
Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, 13(1), 27-32 (1995-01-01)
A sensitive method for the analysis of unconjugated morphine, codeine, normorphine and total morphine after hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates is described. The method was applicable to 50-microliters volumes of plasma. The analytes were converted to heptafluorobutyryl (HFB) derivatives before analysis
J Hasselström et al.
Clinical pharmacokinetics, 24(4), 344-354 (1993-04-01)
Morphine, morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G), morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) and normorphine were analysed with high performance liquid chromatography in plasma and urine, collected over 72 h after administration of single intravenous 5 mg and oral 20 mg doses of morphine to 7 healthy volunteers.
G D Smith et al.
Life sciences, 61(2), 95-104 (1997-01-01)
Normorphine was synthesised from morphine by thermal decomposition of an N-alpha-chloroethylchloroformate adduct, and purified (> 98% purity) using semi-preparative HPLC with ultraviolet detection. Normorphine-3-glucuronide (NM3G) was biochemically synthesised using the substrate normorphine, uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid and Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes

British journal of pharmacology, 115(6), 925-932 (1995-07-01)
1. Acute homologous desensitization of mu-opioid receptor-induced currents was pharmacologically characterized in locus coeruleus (LC) neurones by use of intracellular and whole cell recording in superfused brain slices. 2. Following desensitization of opioid receptors by perfusion with a high concentration
