6-Alpha Naloxol(Alpha-Naloxol) is an opioid antagonist and is a human metabolite of naloxone.

When responding over the entire 30 min operant session was examined, naloxone was only 5-fold more potent than 6-alpha-naloxol in suppressing operant responding under Morphine Na ve conditions, but this increased to a 65-fold potency difference after Single or Repeat Morphine pretreatment. Examination of the relative potency of these antagonists in the Early Phase of operant testing (5-15 min post-antagonist) revealed an even greater 100-fold potency difference between naloxone and 6-alpha-naloxol, but in the Late Phase of testing (25-35 min post-antagonist), this had declined to a 9-fold potency difference, comparable to the relative potency of naloxone to 6-alpha-naloxol under Morphine-Na ve conditions [3].
