Product Information

• Name: Codeine Impurity F
• Synonyms: 14-Hydroxycodene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Codeine Impurity F is a biochemical that is an impurity of codeine. Codeine Impurity F is a byproduct of the enzymatic reaction with morphine and the bacterial strain Pseudomonas putida. Codeine Impurity F has been shown to inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, by binding to cellular membranes and inhibiting their function. It also binds to RNA in vitro and prevents translation of mRNA from its ribosome complex. The hydroxyl group on Codeine Impurity F binds to aluminium ions, which may interfere with the absorption of other drugs such as ampicillin or tetracycline. This impurity has been shown to have an effect on biological products such as immunoglobulins and albumin.
