Metabolism of highly potent synthetic opioid nitazene analogs: N‐ethyl‐N‐(1‐glucuronyloxyethyl) metabolite formation and degradation to N‐desethyl metabolites during enzymatic hydrolysis

This study revealed that nitazene analogs were mainly metabolized by N-1-hydroxylation followed by glucuronidation, N-deethylation, O-dealkylation followed by glucuronidation, and…
