HIDE SMILES / InChI
Morphine-6-glucuronide is a pharmacologically active metabolite of morphine that is being developed by CeNeS Pharmaceuticals as an alternative to morphine for the management of postoperative pain. Compared to morphine, Morphine-6-glucuronide has been reported to have6 and 86 times lower affinity for the human mu and kappa opioid receptors, respectively, and similar affinity for the delta opioid receptor. Morphine-6-glucuronide is was studied in phase III clinical trials for postoperative pain management. Unfortunately, Morphine-6-glucuronide failed to demonstrate superior safety compared to Morphine and further development was discontinued. Morphine-6-glucuronide accumulates after administration of morphine to patients with renal insufficiency, and analgesia can be obtained with lower doses of morphine compared to patients with normal renal function. More importantly, the dose should be reduced to avoid serious side-effects, although the simulations in this review did not account for side-effects.
