N2 - Morphine-6-glucuronide (M-6-G) and morphine-3-glucuronide (M-3-G) are the two most important metabolites of morphine. Both are pharmacologically active, however, with different effects. M-6-G has been demonstrated capable of inducing anti-nociception and sedation, and M-3-G may induce behavioural excitation and possibly antagonise anti-nociception. Their impact on pharmacodynamics in patients in long-term treatment with oral morphine remains to be settled.
