N-Phenethylnordesomorphine


N-Phenethylnordesomorphine is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenethylamines. It is a derivative of desomorphine, a powerful opioid analgesic.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

N-Phenethylnordesomorphine is a phenethylamine, which is a large family of organic compounds. It consists of a phenethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the desomorphine molecule. The phenethyl group is a two-carbon chain (the ethyl part) attached directly to a benzene ring (the phenyl part).

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

As a derivative of desomorphine, N-Phenethylnordesomorphine is expected to have similar pharmacological properties. Desomorphine is a potent opioid analgesic, and it is likely that N-Phenethylnordesomorphine also has analgesic properties. However, the addition of the phenethyl group may alter the pharmacological profile of the compound, and further research is needed to fully understand the effects of this modification.

Research and Potential Uses[edit | edit source]

Research into N-Phenethylnordesomorphine is still in its early stages, and much remains unknown about this compound. However, its close relation to desomorphine suggests that it may have potential as a powerful analgesic. Further research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of N-Phenethylnordesomorphine for medical use.
