Purpose. The antinociceptive and immunosuppressive effects of codeine and codeine 6-glucuronide were determined in rats after intracerebroventricular administration.Methods. Codeine 6-glucuronide was synthesized using a modification of the Koenigs-Knorr reaction. A lipophilic intermediate formed during synthesis, methyl [codein-6-yl-2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosid] uronate, was also tested. Morphine was used as a positive control to compare antinociceptive potencies of these compounds.Results. All compounds tested produced significant analgesic responses, as assessed by the tail flick model. Additionally, codeine 6-glucuronide showed significantly less immunosuppressive effects than codeine in vitro.Conclusions. We conclude that codeine 6-glucuronide and related compounds may have clinical benefit in the treatment of pain in immune compromised patients.

Conjugation of 4,5-Epoxymorphinan-6-ols with Bromoglucuronides in the presence of Zinc containing compounds as activator under conditions capable of forming 4,5-Epoxymorphinan-6-oxyglucuronides is disclosed. This novel approach provides an efficient method for preparation of both anomers of 4,5-Epoxymorphinan-6-oxyglucuronides. The deprotected end products are useful as analgesic agents.

A stereoselective synthesis of both isomers of the pharmaceutically important morphine 6-beta -D-glucuronide (M6G) and its analogs was developed. The method is based on the use of ZnBr2 for the key coupling reaction. It was shown that the alpha/beta stereoselectivity of the reaction can he directed and controlled by the amount of ZnBr2. This paper describes the synthesis, analysis and characterization of the Lu-isomer of M6C, useful as a reference marker for testing purity and stability of the morphine 6-beta -D-glucuronide (M6G).

A practical synthesis of morphine-6-glucuronide from 3-acetylmorphine and methyl 2-alpha-bromo-3,4,5-tri-O-acetylglucuronate is described. Similar syntheses of codeine-6-glucuronide, codeine-6-glucoside and morphine-6-glucoside are also documented
