Despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl
Despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is an analog of fentanyl. It is also known as 4-Fluorofentanyl and is a potent opioid receptor agonist.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
Despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl is a fluorinated analog of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. The chemical structure of despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl is similar to that of fentanyl, but with a fluorine atom added to the phenethyl group.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl acts as a potent agonist at the mu-opioid receptor. It has a high affinity for this receptor, which is the primary site of action for the most commonly used opioids. The binding of despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl to the mu-opioid receptor results in a range of effects, including analgesia, sedation, and respiratory depression.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl are similar to those of other opioids. These include analgesia, sedation, euphoria, and respiratory depression. However, due to its high potency, the risk of overdose and death is significantly higher than with other opioids.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
Despropionyl-p-fluorofentanyl is a controlled substance in many countries due to its high potential for abuse and addiction. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
