Nalodeine
Nalodeine
Nalodeine (pronounced: na-lo-deen) is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as morphinans. These are polycyclic compounds with a four-ring skeleton with three condensed six-member rings forming a partially hydrogenated phenanthrene "core", and a fourth five-member ring attached via the nitrogen bridge. The structure is similar to the structure of morphine.
Etymology
The term "Nalodeine" is derived from the words "Naloxone" and "Codeine". Naloxone is a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose. Codeine is an opiate used to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea.
