General description

Codeine-6-β-D-glucuronide is a major urinary metabolite of codeine, an opiate commonly used as an antitussive and analgesic for management of mild pain. This certified reference solution is suitable as starting material for preparation of calibrators and controls in codeine testing by LC/MS or GC/MS for forensic analysis, urine drug testing, or clinical toxicology applications.

Application


  • Opiate Metabolite Analysis in Urine: Codeine-6-β-D-glucuronide is utilized in a comprehensive LC-MS/MS analysis to identify opiate metabolites and antihistamines in urine after consumption of cold syrups. This research is crucial for clinical diagnostics and forensic toxicology, providing insights into drug metabolism and potential drug interactions (Yen et al., 2020).

  • Quantification of Morphine and Codeine Metabolites: Codeine-6-β-D-glucuronide serves as a key standard in LC-ESI-MS/MS for the quantification of morphine, codeine, and their glucuronide metabolites in human urine. This method is essential for pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring, enhancing the accuracy of opioid metabolism research (Murphy and Huestis, 2005).

R W Romberg et al.
Journal of analytical toxicology, 19(3), 157-162 (1995-05-01)
The acid and enzymatic hydrolysis rates for two morphine metabolites, morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) and morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G), were compared. Urine fortified with M3G or M6G was hydrolyzed in a boiling water bath or with beta-glucuronidases. Optimal temperatures for beta-glucuronidases were 60 degrees

1. The pharmacokinetics, metabolism and partial clearances of codeine to morphine, norcodeine and codeine-6-glucuronide after single (30 mg) and chronic (30 mg 8 h for seven doses) administration of codeine were studied in eight subjects (seven extensive and one poor

The antinociceptive and immunosuppressive effects of codeine and codeine 6-glucuronide were determined in rats after intracerebroventricular administration. Codeine 6-glucuronide was synthesized using a modification of the Koenigs-Knorr reaction. A lipophilic intermediate formed during synthesis, methyl [codein-6-yl-2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosid] uronate, was also tested.

Because codeine (COD) is eliminated primarily via glucuronidation, factors that alter COD glucuronide formation potentially affect the proportion of the dose converted to the pharmacologically active metabolite morphine. Thus, in vitro-in vivo extrapolation approaches were used to identify potential drug-drug
