By the late 19th century Western pharmacologists were sufficiently concerned that they began to search for a non-addictive painkiller which might replace morphine. (cpamedia.com)
Analgesics2
Over the past two centuries, opium and its derivatives have become the most widely used analgesics for severe pain. (nih.gov)
Knorr is noted for his research in organic chemistry that led to his discovery in 1883 of antipyrine, the first of a series of pyrazolone derivatives that found wide use as antipyretics and analgesics. (britannica.com)

Natural derivatives from the poppy plant are opiates. (promises.com)
Potent3
The drug was found to be a more potent pain reliever than morphine with a shorter duration and less nausea. (healthline.com)
It has sedative and analgesic effects, and is around 10 times more potent than morphine. (wikidoc.org)
Synthetic2
Morphine and its derivatives continue to challenge the creativity of synthetic chemists. (uwaterloo.ca)
Consequently, the reports of toxicologic and pharmacologic effects of crude extracts or synthetic derivatives of cannabis published before 1968 lack precision and uniformity and preclude any quantitative correlation between physiological effects and chemical composition. (unodc.org)
Analgesic effect5
It was reported to have 30 times the activity of pethidine and a greater analgesic effect than morphine in rats, and it was demonstrated to cause central nervous system stimulation in mice. (wikipedia.org)
It has been suggested that M6G contributes to the analgesic effect after administration of morphine, but the extent of its contribution remains unclear. (nih.gov)
In order to elucidate the relative contribution of both drugs to the overall analgesic effect mediated by the µ-receptor, published data on µ-receptor binding, plasma protein binding, concentrations [preferably area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)] of morphine and M6G in blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or concentration ratios were used to calculate free CSF concentration corrected for receptor binding for each compound. (nih.gov)
In patients with renal insufficiency, 97.6% of the analgesic effect is caused by M6G when morphine is given orally. (nih.gov)
When administering morphine to patients, the analgesic effect is mainly caused by M6G instead of morphine itself, irrespective of the route of administration. (nih.gov)
