General description

6ß-Naltrexol is the primary urinary metabolite of Naltrexone, an opiate sold under the trade names Revia, Depade, and Vivitrol® and used primarily in the management of alcohol or opiate dependence. This analytical reference standard is appropriate for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications from clinical toxicology and forensic analysis to urine drug testing.

Application



  • Advanced analytical techniques for pharmacokinetics: The development of a rapid and sensitive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for nalmefene quantification in human plasma, pivotal for pharmacokinetic studies, underscores the importance of 6β-Naltrexol in therapeutic drug monitoring and addiction treatment research (Xie et al., 2002).

We present data for a comparison of a liquid-chromatographic method coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and a high-performance liquid-chromatographic method with column switching and UV spectrophotometric detection. The two methods were developed for determination of naltrexone and 6beta-naltrexol in

Opioid-induced constipation is a frequent side effect of opioid pain therapy due to opioid effects on the enteric nervous system, including gastric emptying and fluid absorption. The current exploratory studies were conducted to determine whether the neutral opioid antagonist 6β-naltrexol

The current studies were designed to compare the in vivo potencies of the opioid antagonists 6beta-naltrexol and naltrexone in blocking the effects of the opioid agonist hydrocodone following intravenous (i.v.) or oral (p.o.) administration. Adult male CD-1 mice were used

6-Beta-naltrexol is the major active metabolite of naltrexone, NTX, a potent mu-opioid receptor antagonist used in the treatment of alcohol dependence and opioid abuse. Compared to naloxone, NTX has a longer duration of action largely attributed to 6-beta-naltrexol. This study

In an effort to better understand the conformational preferences that inform the biological activity of naltrexone and related naltrexol derivatives, a new synthesis of the restricted analog 3-OBn-6β,14-epoxymorphinan 4 is described. 4 was synthesized starting from naltrexone in 50% overall
