6-alpha-Naloxol is active metabolite of naloxone. 6-alpha-Naloxol was shown to be neutral antagonist at the mu receptor in vitro, with no affect on cAMP levels or GTPitalic gammaS binding, regardless of morphine pretreatment. It elicits withdrawal behaviour and conditioned place aversion in morphine pretreated rodents.
