BENZOIC ACID, BENZOIC ACID DERIVATIVES AND HETEROARYL CARBOXYLIC ACID CONJUGATES OF OXYMORPHONE, PRODRUGS, METHODS OF MAKING AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The presently described technology provides compositions comprising aryl carboxylic acids and, for example NSAIDs, chemically conjugated to oxymorphone (4,5-α-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one) to form novel prodrugs/compositions of oxymorphone, including benzoates, salicylates, propionates, fenamates, and acetates, which have a decreased potential for abuse of oxymorphone. The present technology also provides methods of treating patients, pharmaceutical kits and methods of synthesizing conjugates of the present technology.
