- Abstract:
- We have examined cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from twelve patients who were not on any medication and found them to contain both morphine and codeine in concentrations of 2 to 339 fmol/ml. These are comparable to the concentration of opioid peptides in spinal fluid. Both morphine and codeine are present mainly in conjugated form from which the free alkaloids can be released by acid hydrolysis.
