Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17094451 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1688995 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6135574 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7078349

Morphinone is an oxidation product of morphine with weak agonistic activity toward mu opioid receptor. Morphinone is the intermediate when morphine is being converted to hydromorphone. Morphinone is toxic compound, subcutaneous administration of morphinone produced a reduction of hepatic non-protein sulfhydryl concentration. Glutathione or cysteine significantly decrease Morphinone toxicity.

Sample Use Guides

The analgesic effects of morphinone and morphine in mice were determined by the acetic acid writhing test. Each group of I0 male mice was subcutaneously administered a solution of morphine or morphinone (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg) in a volume of I0 ml solution per kg, 30 min prior to the intraperltoneal injection of I0 ml/kg of 0.7% acetic acid in the saline.

In Vitro Use Guide
HL-60 cells were inoculated at 1.0x10^6 cells/well in 96-microwell (Becton Dickinson Labware, NJ, USA), unless otherwise stated. After 24 h, the medium was removed with an aspirator and replaced with 0.1 mL of fresh medium containing the 0-100mkM of morphinone. Cells were incubated for another 24 h and the relative viable cell number was then determined by the MTT method.
