Difference between Morphine and Morphine-3-glucuronide

Morphine vs. Morphine-3-glucuronide

Morphine is a pain medication of the opiate variety which is found naturally in a number of plants and animals. Morphine-3-glucuronide is a metabolite of morphine produced by UGT2B7.

Similarities between Morphine and Morphine-3-glucuronide

Morphine and Morphine-3-glucuronide have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Blood–brain barrier, Morphine-6-glucuronide, Opioid receptor, UGT2B7.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

Morphine-6-glucuronide

Morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) is a major active metabolite of morphine, and as such is the molecule responsible for much of the pain-relieving effects of morphine and heroin.
