Proheptazine

Proheptazine is a opioid analgesic that is an analogue of methadone. It was developed in the 1960s during research into analogues of pethidine and was assessed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime but was not included on the list of drugs under international control, probably because it was not used in medicine or veterinary medicine.

Pharmacology

Proheptazine produces similar effects to other opioids, including analgesia, sedation, dizziness and nausea.

Chemistry

Proheptazine is in the morphinan class of opioids and is not a derivative of naturally occurring opium alkaloids such as thebaine or codeine.

Legal Status

Proheptazine is not currently under international control. According to the UNODC, "it is not known to be particularly liable to abuse and there is no evidence of it being abused".
