Cebranopadol (pronounced as Se-bran-o-pad-ol) is a novel, potent analgesic medication that is primarily used for the treatment of severe chronic pain. It is a unique compound that acts as a full agonist at the mu-opioid receptor, kappa-opioid receptor, delta-opioid receptor, and nociceptin receptor, all of which are involved in the perception and modulation of pain.
