General description

Codeine is an opiate used for its analgesic, antitussive, and sedative properties and is the second-most predominant alkaloid in opium. This certified reference solution is suitable for use as a starting material in calibrators and controls for LC/MS and GC/MS testing methods in clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, pharmaceutical research, and pain prescription monitoring. As a widely popular recreational drug, codeine is regulated under various narcotic control laws in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Sweden, and the United States. Since opiates are classified as controlled substances, Cerilliant offers most opiate reference standards as DEA-exempt solutions for added convenience.

Application


  • Codeine Solution in Opioid Receptor Studies: A recent review discusses the phytochemical and nutritional composition of Papaver plants, known for containing codeine. It outlines the plant′s biotechnological applications, potentially relevant for opioid receptor studies, and can be a basis for developing high-purity codeine solutions for research purposes. This highlights codeine′s role in biochemical research, especially in studying analgesic mechanisms and opioid receptor pharmacology (Butnariu et al., 2022).
