Prodrug behaviour of nicotinoylmorphine esters

Abstract: Morphine and its nicotinoyl esters, dinicotinoylmorphine (nicomorphine), 6-mononicotinoylmorphine (6-MNM) and 3-mononicotinoylmorphine (3-MNM) were tested in mice for central activity to obtain time-effect profiles of these compounds in rats. Two effects, analgesia with the hot plate test and locomotor stimulation in activity cages were measured and nicomorphine, 6-MNM and 3-MNM were found to have a faster onset of action compared with morphine. The effects of 3-MNM and morphine lasted longer than the effect o… Show more

“…Previous studies of the ester prodrug indicate that the safety profile and pharmacological actions are similar to the parent compound (Broekkamp et al ., ; Hemstrom et al ., ; He et al ., ). With the advantage of prolonged duration (from a few days to a few weeks), SDE is currently in phase III study to prove its efficacy and safety on post‐operation patients.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] In the present study, the morphine 3-esters, when compared with the parent compound, were up to 4600-, 300-, and 9300-fold less potent for binding to µ-, δ-, and κ-opioid receptors, respectively ( Table 4).
