Alphamethadol
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Template:Drugbox Alphamethadol (INN), or α-methadol, also known as alfametadol, is a synthetic opioid analgesic.[1] It is an isomer of dimepheptanol (methadol), the other being betamethadol (β-methadol).[2] Alphamethadol is composed of two isomers itself, L-α-methadol, and D-α-methadol.[2] Both of alphamethadol's isomers bind to and activate the μ-opioid receptor and are active as opioid analgesics,[3] similarly to those of alphacetylmethadol (α-acetylmethadol).[4]
