Oxycodon
Oxycodone is a semisynthetic opioid primarily used as a strong analgesic. It acts primarily as an agonist at the μ-opioid receptor, thereby influencing pain processing in the central nervous system. Due to its high potential for addiction and risks for respiratory depression, careful handling is required. The substance is medically used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
Mechanism of Action
- μ-opioid receptor agonist
Names / Identifiers
IUPAC: (4R,4aS,7aR,12bS)-4a-hydroxy-9-methoxy-3-methyl-2,4,5,6,7a,13-hexahydro-1H-4,12-methanobenzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinolin-7-one
Mechanism of Action
Oxycodone primarily acts as an agonist at the μ-opioid receptor, leading to inhibition of pain transmission in the central nervous system. This results in analgesic effects as well as potential sedation.
