6.beta.-Naltrexol-d3 Usage And Synthesis

Description

6β-Naltrexol-d₃ (Item No. 18350) is an analytical reference material intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 6β-naltrexol by GC- or LC-MS. 6β-Naltrexol is the major metabolite of naltrexone (Item Nos. ISO60192 | 15520). It is a neutral μ-opioid receptor antagonist (K_i = 94 pM). This product is intended for research and forensic applications.

Uses

6β-Naltrexol-d3 (6β-Hydroxynaltrexone-d3) is deuterium labeled 6β-Naltrexol. 6β-Naltrexol (6β-Hydroxynaltrexone), the primary metabolite of Naltrexone, is a peripherally selective opioid antagonist. 6β-Naltrexol selectively inhibits gastrointestinal opioid effects in human subjects and inhibits Morphine-induced slowing of gastrointestinal transit[1][2].
