Morphine is 35% protein bound, the metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide is 10% protein bound, and morphine-6-glucuronide is 15% protein bound. 4. Metabolism. Morphine is 90% metabolized by glucuronidation by UGT2B7 and sulfation at positions 3 and 6. 4 Morphine can also be metabolized to codeine, normorphine, and morphine ethereal sulfate. 6

Morphine is then further metabolized to morphine-3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide before excretion (primarily via the kidneys). However, prior to its metabolism to morphine and subsequent glucuronidation, heroin is rapidly metabolized to 6-MAM.

Expected limits of morphine and hydromorphone (as a result of morphine metabolism) concentrations in the urine were established. Part II of this study used the metabolic ratio (hydromorphone-morphine) to determine the inter-patient and intra-patient variability in morphine metabolism to hydromorphone. Metabolic ratio values varied over a large
