Buprenorphine-3-glucuronide(B3G) is a majoractive metaboliteof theopioid modulatorbuprenorphine.[1]It hasaffinityfor theμ-opioid receptor(Ki= 4.9 (± 2.7) pM),δ-opioid receptor(Ki= 270 nM), andnociceptin receptor(Ki= 36 μM), but not for theκ-opioid receptor.[1]Whether B3G acts as anagonistorantagonistof each of the former three respective sites has yet to be determined.[2]In rats, at the doses assayed, B3G has been found to produce a small degree ofantinociception,and similarly to buprenorphine in these assays, has not been found to producesedation,reducelocomotion,or decreaserespiratory rate.[1]Of all of the active metabolites of buprenorphine, B3G is thought to be the most similar to the parent drug.[1]Unlikenorbuprenorphine,but similarly to buprenorphine (andnorbuprenorphine-3-glucuronide), B3G is not asubstrateforP-glycoprotein,and hence may cross theblood-brain-barriersignificantly.[2]
