Wikipedia

  1. Nalorphine

    Nalorphine (INN) (brand names Lethidrone, Nalline), also known as N-allylnormorphine, is a mixed opioid agonist–antagonist with opioid antagonist and analgesic properties. It was introduced in 1954 and was used as an antidote to reverse opioid overdose and in a challenge test to determine opioid dependence.Nalorphine was the second opioid antagonist to be introduced, preceded by nalodeine (N-allylnorcodeine) in 1915 and followed by naloxone in 1960 and naltrexone in 1963. Due to potent activation of the κ-opioid receptor, nalorphine produces side effects such as dysphoria, anxiety, confusion, and hallucinations, and for this reason, is no longer used medically.

  1. nalorphine

    Nalorphine, also known as Nalline, is a type of opioid antagonist used to reverse the effects of opioid drugs such as morphine, heroin, and fentanyl in cases of overdose. Its primary mode of action involves binding to opioid receptors in the brain, thereby blocking the euphoric and pain-relieving effects of opioids. It can also be used in diagnosing whether an individual has an opioid dependency. Introduced in the 1950s, it was one of the first opioid antagonists to be used in medicine.
