J L Plummer et al.
Toxicology, 95(1-3), 37-44 (1995-01-06)
This study investigated behavioural effects of the toxic pethidine metabolite, norpethidine, in rats and its interactions with reserpine, apomorphine and physostigmine. Following intraperitoneal administration, brain concentrations of norpethidine reached a plateau after 20-40 min and remained elevated for 2 h.

Fa yi xue za zhi, 15(4), 204-207 (2003-01-23)
Using meperidine abusers as subjects for this study, we detected in hair meperidine and its metabolites normeperidine, N-OCH3-meperidine and N-AC-meperidine. The content of meperidine and normeperidine of 60 abusers were 103 +/- 130 ng/mg and 117 +/- 143 ng/mg respectively.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, 9(2), 128-134 (1995-04-01)
It has remained unclear whether epidural opioid analgesia permits better recovery of postthoracotomy pulmonary function than an optimal method of systemic opioid administration. Lumbar epidural meperidine infusions were compared with intravenous patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) meperidine infusions in a prospective randomized
