Acetate

An acetate is a salt formed by the combination of acetic acid with a base (e.g. alkaline, earthy, metallic, nonmetallic or radical base).

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Acetate

Acetic acid

Acetic acid, systematically named ethanoic acid, is an acidic, colourless liquid and organic compound with the chemical formula (also written as,, or). Vinegar is at least 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Acetic acid

Acetic anhydride

Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Acetic anhydride

Acetylation

In chemistry, acetylation is an organic esterification reaction with acetic acid.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Acetylation

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Catalysis

Codeine

Codeine is an opiate and prodrug of morphine mainly used to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Codeine

Ester

In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Ester

Heroin

Heroin, also known as diacetylmorphine and diamorphine among other names, is a morphinan opioid substance synthesized from the dried latex of the Papaver somniferum plant; it is mainly used as a recreational drug for its euphoric effects. 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Heroin are opioids.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Heroin

Hydroxy group

In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Hydroxy group

Morphine

Morphine, formerly also called morphia, is an opiate that is found naturally in opium, a dark brown resin produced by drying the latex of opium poppies (Papaver somniferum).

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Morphine

Opium

Opium (or poppy tears, scientific name: Lachryma papaveris) is dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. 6-Monoacetylcodeine and opium are opioids.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Opium

Poppy tea

Poppy tea is an herbal tea infusion brewed from poppy straw or seeds of several species of poppy. 6-Monoacetylcodeine and poppy tea are opioids.

See 6-Monoacetylcodeine and Poppy tea

6-Monoacetylmorphine

6-Monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM, 6-acetylmorphine, or 6-AM) is an opioid and also one of three active metabolites of heroin (diacetylmorphine), the others being morphine and the much less active 3-monoacetylmorphine (3-MAM). 6-Monoacetylcodeine and 6-Monoacetylmorphine are opioid metabolites.
