Ketobemidone

A powerful synthetic opioid analgesic, comparable to morphine, first synthesised in Germany in 1942 by Eisleb and colleagues: the first study in humans was published in 1946, and it entered clinical use shortly afterwards. This family brings together pharmacopoeial impurities.

Did you know?Besides acting on opioid receptors, it partly blocks NMDA receptors, helped by its metabolite norketobemidone: this is why it can help with pain that responds poorly to other opioids.
