CAS 2859-16-7: Codeine methyl ether
Description:Codeine methyl ether, also known as methylcodeine, is an opiate derivative with the CAS number 2859-16-7. It is a semi-synthetic compound derived from codeine, which is itself an alkaloid obtained from the opium poppy. This substance exhibits analgesic and antitussive properties, making it useful in pain relief and cough suppression. Chemically, it is characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the hydroxyl group of codeine, which alters its pharmacological profile. Codeine methyl ether is typically administered in various formulations, including tablets and syrups, and is subject to regulation due to its potential for abuse and dependence. Its pharmacokinetics involve metabolism primarily in the liver, where it may be converted into active metabolites. As with other opioids, caution is advised in its use, particularly regarding dosage and potential side effects, which can include respiratory depression and sedation. Overall, codeine methyl ether serves as an important compound in the realm of medicinal chemistry, particularly in pain management.
