Desomorphine is a morphine analogue where the 6-hydroxyl group and the 7,8 double bond have been reduced. [8] The traditional synthesis of desomorphine starts from α-chlorocodide, which is itself obtained by treating codeine with thionyl chloride.
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a substance use disorder characterized by cravings for opioids, continued use despite physical and/or psychological deterioration, increased tolerance with use, and withdrawal symptoms after discontinuing opioids.
N-Phenethylnordesomorphine is an opiate analgesic drug derived from desomorphine by replacing the N-methyl group with β-phenethyl.Since desomorphine is already around eight times more potent than morphine, the additional boost in binding affinity produced by using the larger phenethyl group makes N-phenethylnordesomorphine a highly potent analgesic drug, some 85 times more potent than ...
Addiction includes psychological compulsion, to the extent that the affected person persists in actions leading to dangerous or unhealthy outcomes. Opioid addiction includes insufflation or injection, rather than taking opioids orally as prescribed for medical reasons.
Illicitly produced desomorphine is typically far from pure and often contains large amounts of toxic substances and contaminants as a result of being "cooked" and used without any significant effort to remove the byproducts and leftovers from synthesis.

Methyldesorphine is an opioid analgesic. First synthesized in Germany in 1940 and patented in the US in 1952, [2] it has a high potential for abuse as with any potent opioid agonist, and is sometimes found along with desomorphine as a component of the home-made opioid mixture known as "Krokodil" used in Russia and the neighboring former Soviet republics. [3]
The toxic outcomes associated with the illicit use of "Krokodil" are still fundamentally related to desomorphine use - even if the addicts fail to actually make desomorphine and instead inject unreacted codeine and toxic crap plus random opiate mix, the intention was still to make desomorphine, and the highly addicting nature of the times they ...
