Norbuprenorphine is a major active metabolite of the opioid modulator buprenorphine. It is a μ-opioid, δ-opioid, and nociceptin receptor full agonist, [1] [2] and a κ-opioid receptor partial agonist. [2] In rats, unlike buprenorphine, norbuprenorphine produces marked respiratory depression but with very little antinociceptive effect. [3]

Buprenorphine-3-glucuronide (B3G) is a major active metabolite of the opioid modulator buprenorphine. [1] It has affinity for the μ-opioid receptor (K i = 4.9 (± 2.7) pM), δ-opioid receptor (K i = 270 nM), and nociceptin receptor (K i = 36 μM), but not for the κ-opioid receptor . [ 1 ]
