Optical Activity UNSPECIFIED

Norcodeine is the N-demethylated derivative of codeine. It has relatively little opioid activity in its own right, but is formed as a metabolite of codeine following ingestion. Codeine and its other major metabolites codeine-6-glucuronide and norcodeine have weak affinity to opioid μ-receptors.

Sample Use Guides

In a "cross-over” test, norcodeine (75 mg/80 kg) was given to 9 nontolerant subjects. Using a balanced cross-over plan, 5 nontolerant subjects received, in a 30-hour period, five doses of norcodeine in one experiment and five doses of codeine in another, the successive doses of both drugs being 75, 50, 50, 75 and 75 mg/80 kg.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Norcodeine (50 uM) was incubated with 5 mM to 100 mM of ethanol and the metabolism of both norethylmorphine and norcodeine was found to be inhibited by ethanol in a concentration-dependent manner.
