Morpheridine (Morpholinoethylnorpethidine)[2] is a 4-phenylpiperidine derivative that is related to the clinically used opioid analgesic drug pethidine (meperidine). It is a strong analgesic with around 4 times the potency of pethidine,[3] and unlike pethidine, does not cause convulsions, although it produces the standard opioid side effects such as sedation and respiratory depression.[4]
Morpheridine is not currently used in medicine and is a Schedule I drug which is controlled under UN drug conventions.[5]
