Cyclorphan is anopioidanalgesic of themorphinan family that was never marketed.[1] It acts as aμ-opioid receptor (MOR) weakpartial agonist orantagonist,κ-opioid receptor (KOR)full agonist, and, to a much lesser extent,δ-opioid receptor (DOR) agonist (75-fold loweraffinity relative to the KOR).[2][3] The drug was first synthesized in 1964 by scientists atResearch Corporation.[4][5]: 232 Inclinical trials, it had relatively long duration, good absorption, and provided strong pain relief but producedpsychotomimetic effects via KOR activation, so its development was not continued.[1][5]: 232, 237
