TREXAN
Biological Activity
Opioid antagonist.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Competitive antagonist for μ, κ, δ, and σ-opioid receptors; has greater oral efficacy and longer duration of action than naloxone.
Clinical Use
Opioid antagonist:
Adjunctive prophylactic treatment in patient’s
previously opioid dependant
Treatment of alcohol dependence
Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Opioids: Avoid concomitant use.
Metabolism
Naltrexone is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract but is subject to considerable first-pass metabolism and may undergo enterohepatic recycling. It is extensively metabolised in the liver and the major metabolite, 6-β-naltrexol, may also possess weak opioid antagonist activity. It is excreted mainly in the urine, <5% is excreted in the faeces. The renal clearance for naltrexone ranges from 30-127 mL/min and suggests that renal elimination is primarily by glomerular filtration
storage
Room temperature
Purification Methods
This narcotic antagonist has been purified by recrystallisation from MeOH and dried in air. The free base has m 168-170o after recrystallisation from Me2CO. [Cone et al. J Pharm Sci 64 618 1975, Gold et al. Med Res Rev 2 211 1982.]
