Isolation of Nalorphine Ethereal Sulfate and Nalorphine Glucuronide from Urine of Cat and Rabbit
SummaryIsolation of a major metabolite of nalorphine from the urine of the cat was accomplished. This metabolite was nalorphine-3-ethereal sulfate by chemical synthesis of the compound. Evidence is presented to characterize the crystalline metabolite isolated from the urine of the rabbit as nalorphine-3-glucuronide.

Bivalent and bitopic ligands of the opioid receptors: The prospects of a dual approach
Abstract Opioid receptors belonging to the class A G‐protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the targets of choice in the treatment of acute and chronic pain. However, their on‐target side effects such as respiratory depression, tolerance and addiction have led to the advent of the ‘opioid crisis’.
