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).
