Description
6β-Naltrexol (CRM)
Product Description
6β-Naltrexol (Item No. 18790) is a certified reference material that is structurally categorized as an opioid. It is the major metabolite of naltrexone (Item Nos. ISO60192 | 15520).1 Unlike naltrexone, which acts as a µ-receptor antagonist or inverse agonist, 6β-naltrexol is a neutral opioid antagonist.2 6β-Naltrexol binds the µ-opioid receptor more potently than naloxone (Item Nos. ISO60191 | 15594) or naltrexone (Kis = 94, 420, and 265 pM, respectively) but is ~100-fold less effective at blocking morphine-modulated pain in vivo, as assessed using the mouse hot plate test.3 This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
