Dinalbuphine

Dinalbuphine is a synthetic opioid analgesic that is used in the treatment of pain. It is a derivative of buprenorphine, which is a powerful opioid analgesic. Dinalbuphine is not currently approved for use in the United States, but it is available in some other countries.

Pharmacology

Dinalbuphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor, which is the primary site of action for most opioid analgesics. It also has some activity at the kappa-opioid receptor. Like other opioids, it produces analgesia by binding to and activating these receptors in the central nervous system.

Clinical Use

Dinalbuphine is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It can be administered by intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, or subcutaneous injection. The duration of analgesia is typically 3 to 6 hours.

Side Effects

Common side effects of dinalbuphine include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and drowsiness. Like other opioids, it can also cause respiratory depression, which can be life-threatening if not properly managed.
