Product Information

• Name: Codeinone
• Synonyms: (5a)-7,8-Didehydro-4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-morphinan-6-one7,8-Didehydro-4,5a-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-morphinan-6-one(-)-Co deinone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Codeinone is a hydroxylated metabolite of codeine. It is formed by the oxidation of codeine to form codeinone, which then undergoes a second hydroxylation to form morphine. Codeinone is used in wastewater treatment and has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent. Codeinone binds to the opioid receptors in cells, leading to potent antagonistic effects against pain. Codeinone also has anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins (IL). It is not toxic for normal human cells.
