Tapentadol, sold under the brand names Nucynta and Palexia among others, is a synthetic opioid analgesic of the benzenoid class with a dual mode of action as a highly selective full agonist of the μ-opioid receptor and as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI). [7] Tapentadol is used medically for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. [2]
Four people have been arrested and over 13,000 tapentadol pills have been seized following a multi-agency investigation into drugs being shipped from a foreign source to New Orleans homes.
Ciramadol (WY-15,705) is an opioid analgesic that was developed in the late 1970s [1] and is related to phencyclidine, tramadol, tapentadol and venlafaxine. [2] It is a mixed agonist-antagonist for the μ-opioid receptor with relatively low abuse potential [3] and a ceiling on respiratory depression [4] which makes it a relatively safe drug.
In June 2014, the United Kingdom's Home Office classified tramadol as a Class C, Schedule 3 controlled drug, but exempted it from the safe custody requirement. [ 7 ] In October 2023, New Zealand's Medsafe reclassified tramadol as a Class C2 Controlled Drug (in addition to its existing status as a prescription only medication).
An analgesic drug, also called simply an analgesic, antalgic, pain reliever, or painkiller, is any member of the group of drugs used for pain management.Analgesics are conceptually distinct from anesthetics, which temporarily reduce, and in some instances eliminate, sensation, although analgesia and anesthesia are neurophysiologically overlapping and thus various drugs have both analgesic and ...

C-8813 (thiobromadol) is a potent μ-opioid receptor agonist with a distinctive chemical structure which is not closely related to other established families of opioid drugs.
N,O-Didesmethyltramadol (tramadol metabolite M5) is an opioid derivative which is one of two active metabolites of the opioid analgesic medication tramadol.It is many times less potent than the other active metabolite O-Desmethyltramadol but is still more potent as a mu opioid receptor agonist than tramadol itself, unlike the other metabolites N-desmethyltramadol, N,N-didesmethyltramadol, and ...
