Hydrocodone is a highly selective full agonist of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR). [28] [54] [49] This is the main biological target of the endogenous opioid neuropeptide β-endorphin. [55] Hydrocodone has low affinity for the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) and the κ-opioid receptor (KOR), where it is an agonist similarly. [49]
Benzhydrocodone (contracted from benzoate-hydrocodone) is an opioid prodrug of the morphinan class. Its chemical structure consists of hydrocodone coupled with benzoic acid . Benzhydrocodone itself is inactive and acts as a prodrug to hydrocodone upon cleavage of the benzoate portion of the molecule.
