8-Carboxamidocyclazocine is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of benzomorphan opioids. It is structurally related to cyclazocine, a well-known opioid receptor agonist and antagonist.

Chemical structure and properties

8-Carboxamidocyclazocine is a derivative of cyclazocine, characterized by the presence of a carboxamide group at the 8-position of the benzomorphan skeleton. This modification alters its binding affinity and activity at various opioid receptors.

Pharmacology

8-Carboxamidocyclazocine acts as a kappa-opioid receptor agonist and a mu-opioid receptor partial agonist. The kappa-opioid receptor activity is associated with its potential analgesic effects, as well as its ability to produce dysphoria and hallucinations in some cases. The mu-opioid receptor activity contributes to its analgesic properties but also limits its use due to potential for abuse and dependence.

Potential therapeutic uses

Research into 8-Carboxamidocyclazocine has focused on its potential as an analgesic with reduced abuse potential compared to traditional mu-opioid receptor agonists. Its kappa-opioid receptor activity may also make it useful in treating conditions such as depression and anxiety, although these applications are still under investigation.

Side effects and safety

As with other kappa-opioid receptor agonists, 8-Carboxamidocyclazocine may cause side effects such as dysphoria, hallucinations, and sedation. Its safety profile is not fully established, and further research is needed to determine its long-term effects and potential for abuse.
