General description

Norbuprenorphine is the primary active metabolite of the opiate buprenorphine in urine. This Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable as a starting material for use as calibrators and controls in GC/MS and LC/MS methods in forensic analysis, clinical toxicology, urine drug testing, or pain prescription monitoring. Buprenorphine, sold under trade names such as Buprenex®, Subutex® and Suboxone®, is an opiate drug used to treat opioid addiction and to moderate acute pain.

Application

  • Norbuprenorphine solution for opioid receptor research: A study analyzed the pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine and its metabolite norbuprenorphine in neutered male cats anesthetized with isoflurane, highlighting its role in opioid receptor agonist research and the impact on pain management strategies (Pypendop et al., 2023).
  • Metabolite solution for biochemistry experiments: A study addressed the quantitative analysis of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine levels in urine, demonstrating norbuprenorphine′s application in biochemistry experiments to understand opioid use disorder and its treatment (Holt et al., 2018).

A sensitive and specific GC/MS method for the determination of buprenorphine (BPN) and its main metabolite nor-buprenorphine (nor-BPN) in blood has been developed, optimized and validated. Sample preparation includes solid-phase extraction of both analytes and their derivatization with acetic anhydride

The long-lasting high-affinity opioid buprenorphine has complex pharmacology, including ceiling effects with respect to analgesia and respiratory depression. Plasma concentrations of the major buprenorphine metabolites norbuprenorphine, buprenorphine-3-glucuronide, and norbuprenorphine-3-glucuronide approximate or exceed those of the parent drug.
