| General tips | For obtaining a higher solubility , please warm the tube at 37 ℃ and shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. We recommend that you prepare and use the solution on the same day. However, if the test schedule requires, the stock solutions can be prepared in advance, and the stock solution must be sealed and stored below -20℃. In general, the stock solution can be kept for several months. Before use, we recommend that you leave the vial at room temperature for at least an hour before opening it. |

| Description | Methylnaltrexone (Bromide) is a peripheral-acting opioid receptor antagonist that acts on the gastrointestinal tract to decrease opioid-induced constipation.In Vivo:Methylnaltrexone bromide (1 and 10 mg/kg, s.c.) has no effect on tyrosine-induced analgesia. Intracerebroventricular injection of Methylnaltrexone bromide (1 and 10 mg/rat) effectively blocks tyrosine-induced analgesia[1]. Methylnaltrexone bromide (0.01-10.00 mg/kg), does not significantly influence retention latencies of either shocked or unshocked mice. Further, Methylnaltrexone bromide (0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 mg/kg) does not block the retention impairment produced by concurrently administered morphine (3.0 mg/kg) or beta-endorphin (0.1 mg/kg)[2].

Methylnaltrexone Bromide is an antagonist of mu-opioid receptors (MOR) with IC50 value of 75nM.
MOR are a class of opioid receptors with high affinity for enkephalins and beta-endorphin but low affinity for dynorphins. Activation of MOR in the intestinal tract inhibits peristaltic action which causes constipation [1].
In patients with constipation, Methylnaltrexone Bromide plus standard care relieved the constipation symptoms with less time (38 days) and improved quality life of 0.02 years or 8.8 days [1]. Methylnaltrexone is a novel MOR antagonist, which does not pass the blood brain barrier. In the first two weeks of usage, Methylnaltrexone Bromide caused laxation in less than 24 hours for at least half of those patients without impairing pain control or causing serious adverse effects. In phase II studies, all 22 patients had fast laxation [2].

Opioid-induced constipation in advanced illness: safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone bromide.[Pubmed:21836816]
Clin Med Insights Oncol. 2011;5:201-11.
Constipation, one of the major side effects of opiates used in palliative care, can impair patients' quality of life to a point where it prevents sufficient pain control. Methylnaltrexone is a novel mu-receptor antagonist, which does not pass the blood brain barrier. It is licensed to treat opiate induced constipation for patients with advanced diseases. This review article presents an overview of pharmacology and safety of its application, evidence of its efficacy and economic aspects of its use in clinical practice. Available data are limited but strongly suggest that methylnaltrexone causes laxation in less than 24 hours for at least half of those patients over the first two weeks of usage without impairing pain control or causing serious adverse effects. To avoid danger of gastrointestinal perforation it is contraindicated for patients at risk for that complication. More research is needed to evaluate its long-term efficacy and economic impact.
Methylnaltrexone bromide: research update of pharmacokinetics following parenteral administration.[Pubmed:21222554]
Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol. 2011 Feb;7(2):227-35.
INTRODUCTION: Opioid-induced constipation is a major side effect of the use of opioid pain medications in a palliative care population. At present, the only approved treatment for opioid-induced constipation is Methylnaltrexone Bromide subcutaneous injection. Methylnaltrexone is a peripherally restricted opioid antagonist with mu-opioid receptor selectivity that can reduce opioid activity in peripheral organs such as the gastrointestinal tract while sparing the pain relief afforded by the pain medications. AREAS COVERED: This article addresses the pharmacokinetics of parenterally administered methylnaltrexone, including the studies in humans that form the basis for our understanding, and information on the disposition, metabolism and elimination of the drug. From this review, the reader will gain an understanding of the body's handling of methylnaltrexone following intravenous or subcutaneous administration. EXPERT OPINION: Studies conducted to date indicate that methylnaltrexone has high bioavailability after subcutaneous administration at therapeutic dose levels, a terminal half-life of approximately 8 - 9 h, minimal metabolism, elimination involving renal and non-renal routes, and a limited potential for drug-drug interactions. Combined with high efficacy and good tolerability, the predictable pharmacokinetic behavior of methylnaltrexone facilitates its successful utilization in clinical practice for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in patients with advanced medical illness.
Managing opioid-induced constipation in advanced illness: focus on methylnaltrexone bromide.[Pubmed:20234787]
Ther Clin Risk Manag. 2010 Mar 3;6:77-82.
Constipation is a common symptom in palliative care patients which can generate considerable suffering. There is uncertainty about the choice of treatment options from varying recommendations for management of constipation and a varying clinical practice in palliative care settings. The purpose of the review was to evaluate the current recommendations of therapy guidelines for the management of opioid-induced constipation in palliative care patients with a focus on Methylnaltrexone Bromide. Recent findings in the literature and related information on the opioid-induced gastrointestinal disorders in patients with advanced illness, as well as information on the opioid-antagonist methylnaltrexone, are discussed. Knowledge of the role of definitions, the causes of constipation and the pathophysiology of opioid-induced constipation must be given high priority in the treatment of patients receiving opioids. Diagnosis and therapy of constipation, therefore, should relate to findings in clinical investigation. Opioid-induced constipation and its adequate treatment is an important issue for patients with advanced illness and also poses therapeutic challenge for clinicians in daily routine. Methylnaltrexone Bromide may represent an important therapeutic option for palliative care patients who are suffering from opioid-induced constipation with failure of conventional prophylactic oral laxative treatment.
