Buprenorphine
6029-M | Buprenex | Buprenorphine Hydrochloride | RX-6029-M | Temgesic | 6029 M | 6029M | Hydrochloride, Buprenorphine | RX 6029 M | RX6029M
A derivative of the opioid alkaloid THEBAINE that is a more potent and longer lasting analgesic than MORPHINE. It appears to act as a partial agonist at mu and kappa opioid receptors and as an antagonist at delta receptors. The lack of delta-agonist activity has been suggested to account for the observation that buprenorphine tolerance may not develop with chronic use. |
