|  |  | Naltrexone hydrochloride Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Description | Naltrexone hydrochloride is a potent, long-acting, orally-effective narcotic
antagonist useful in the management of narcotic addiction. |  | Chemical Properties | White Crystalline Powder |  | Originator | Endo (USA) |  | Uses | Nonselective opioid receptor antagonist; congener of naloxone |  | Uses | Naltrexone hydrochloride has been used: as an opioid antagonist, to analyse its effect on ethanol preference using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model.
 to determine its effectiveness in reducing the preference for substance of abuse (SOA) like nicotine and cocaine using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model.
 in the preparation of combinatorial drug, PXT3003 for treating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A (CMT1A) transgenic rat model Pmp22.
 |  | Uses | sulfonamide, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, anti-glaucoma agent |  | Uses | Narcotic antagonist, In treatment of?alcoholism |  | Definition | ChEBI: Naltrexone hydrochloride is a hydrochloride obtained by reaction of oxycodone with one molar equivalent of hydrochloric acid. it is a mu-opioid receptor antagonist that is used to treat alcohol dependence. It has a role as a mu-opioid receptor antagonist, an antidote to opioid poisoning and a central nervous system depressant. It contains a naltrexone(1+). |  | Brand name | 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.] |
