Tonazocine (WIN-42,156) is anopioidanalgesic of thebenzomorphan family which made it tophase IIclinical trials for the treatment of postoperative pain,[1] but development was apparently ceased and ultimately it was never marketed. Tonazocine is apartial agonist at both themu-opioid anddelta-opioid receptors, but acting more like anantagonist at the former and more like anagonist at the latter.[2][3] It lacks most of theside effects of other opioids such asadverse effects on thecardiovascular system andrespiratory depression, but it can causesedation (although to a lesser degree of typical opioids), and in some patients it may inducehallucinations (probably via binding to and activating theκ-opioid receptor).[4]
