Tonazocine
Tonazocine (WIN-42,156) is an opioid analgesic of the benzomorphan family which made it to phase II clinical trials for the treatment of postoperative pain, but development was apparently ceased and ultimately it was never marketed. Tonazocine is a partial agonist at both the mu-opioid and delta-opioid receptors, but acting more like an antagonist at the former and more like an agonist at the latter. It lacks most of the side effects of other opioids such as adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and respiratory depression, but it can cause sedation (although to a lesser degree of typical opioids), and in some patients it may induce hallucinations (probably via binding to and activating the κ-opioid receptor The κ-opioid receptor or kappa opioid receptor, abbreviated KOR or KOP, is a G protein-coupled receptor that in humans is encoded by the ''OPRK1'' gene. The KOR is coupled to the G protein Gi/G0 and is one of four related receptors that bind op ...). See a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Benzomorphan
Benzomorphan is a chemical compound that is the base for a series of drugs which variably act on the opioid kappa and sigma receptors, including the following compounds: * 5,9-DEHB * 8-CAC * Alazocine * Anazocine * Bremazocine * Butinazocine * Carbazocine * Cogazocine * Cyclazocine * Dezocine * Eptazocine * Etazocine * Ethylketocyclazocine * Fluorophen * Gemazocine * Ibazocine * Ketazocine * Metazocine * Moxazocine * Pentazocine * Phenazocine * Quadazocine * Thiazocine * Tonazocine * Volazocine * Zenazocine Some of these agents are used as analgesics, including pentazocine, phenazocine, dezocine, and eptazocine.
