The enzymatic glucuronidation of 3-O-protected morphine—a new route to 7,8-dihydromorphine-6-glucuronide
摘要:
The selective enzymatic glucuronidation of the 6-position of morphine was probed by the glucuronidation of a series of 3-O-protected morphine derivatives. 3-O-Benzylmorphine 5 was converted to the corresponding 3-O-benzylmorphine-6-glucuronide 8 by human liver microsomes. The identity of 8 was confirmed by independent chemical synthesis. The glucuronide 8 was subsequently converted to 7,8-dihydromorphine-6-glucuronide. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
