4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl
4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl (4-FBF) is a potent opioid analgesic drug that is an analog of fentanyl. It is part of the fentanyl analogues, a group of synthetic opioids that vary in potency.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl is a fluorinated analog of butyrfentanyl, which belongs to the class of fentanyl analogues. The presence of the fluorine atom at the 4-position on the phenyl ring distinguishes it from its parent compound.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Like other fentanyl analogues, 4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl acts primarily as a mu-opioid receptor agonist. This receptor is the primary site of action for the most commonly used opioids, including morphine, heroin, and fentanyl. The agonistic action at the mu-opioid receptor leads to the drug's analgesic and euphoric effects.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl are similar to those of other potent opioid agonists, including strong analgesia, sedation, euphoria, constipation, itching and respiratory depression which can be harmful or fatal.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl varies by country, but it is often considered a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and addiction. In many jurisdictions, it is illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess 4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl without a license.
