Noroxymorphone is a potent opioid analgesic metabolite derived from oxymorphone. It functions as a mu-opioid receptor agonist with high affinity. Molecular Formula: C17H19NO4; CAS No.: 2066-59-3. Industrial synthesis typically involves demethylation of oxymorphone via specific catalytic processes under strict regulatory controls.
Strictly regulated as a Schedule II controlled substance in many jurisdictions due to high abuse potential. Storage requires secure, climate-controlled environments to prevent degradation. Handling mandates full PPE and compliance with OSHA and DEA safety protocols to mitigate respiratory depression risks.
